Synopsis
In Micro-Segregation, Martin Ruef and Angelina Grigoryeva draw on archaeological, archival, ethnohistorical, and geospatial materials to document micro-segregation in a variety of societies and economic systems. Micro-segregation occurs in social situations where interactions between individuals from distinct groups are not inhibited by sheer physical distance, but by institutional constraints and spatial configurations. Despite the ostensibly fragile boundaries of micro-segregation, Ruef and Grigoryeva argue that it presents both a historically durable and pernicious constraint on human interaction, and illustrate what these constraints reveal about underlying social hierarchies and inequalities.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We often envision segregation by class or caste at a large scale and in objective terms. It seems easy to identify a "slum city" or a "ghetto," particularly when profound differences in infrastructure differentiate them from other neighborhoods and residents have been explicitly minoritized. But what about the segregated microcosms that are peppered throughout human existence?In Micro-Segregation, Martin Ruef and Angelina Grigoryevadraw on archaeological, archival, ethnohistorical, and geospatial materials to document micro-segregation in a variety of societies and economic systems. They explain that micro-segregation occurs in socialsituations where interactions between individuals from distinct groups are not inhibited by sheer physical distance, but by institutional constraints and spatial configurations. From physical barriers to regulations regarding the use of amenities, micro-segregation prevents personal contact and social exchange. In so doing, it often produces an adverse impact on the self-efficacy of subordinate groups who are subject to institutionalized separation and violates conditions that might allow for areduction in interpersonal prejudice.Despite the ostensibly fragile boundaries of micro-segregation, Ruef and Grigoryeva argue that it presents both a historically durable andpernicious constraint on human interaction, persisting on the basis of ingrained understandings and material inequalities even in the absence of formal prohibitions on intergroup contact. By addressing the ways social groups are kept apart across various activities and settings, the authors illustrate what that sorting process reveals about underlying social hierarchies and inequalities. They argue that if historians, policymakers, publics, and social scientists care about the patterns ofsegregation that produce marginalization, then we can ill afford to overlook the causes and consequences of micro-segregation.
