Abstract

The Negro community is a peculiar instance of the American community. Like the immigrant community within our urban centers, it is a result of the processes of selection and segregation which determine the spatial location of ethnic and racial groups. Whereas language and custom form the bases for the development of immigrant communities, racial discrimination and to some extent the folk culture of the Negro are determining factors in the territorial location of the Negro group in urban centers. Both the Negro and immigrant communities tend to become located in the older and more deteriorated areas as a result of the common factor of low economic status.
