Synopsis:
Drawing on intensive research and extensive demographic data, a noted journalist reveals how Americans have been sorting themselves into homogeneous communities over the past three decades, and analyzes the implications of this way-of-life segregation in terms of the cultural, political, and ideological divisiveness and polarization that exists in America today.
About the Author:
Bill Bishop was a reporter at the Austin American-Statesman when he began research on city growth and political polarization with sociologist and statistician Robert Cushing. Bishop has worked as a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader, and, with his wife, owned and operated The Bastrop County Times, a weekly newspaper in Smithville, Texas. He lives in Austin, Texas.
