Sommario/riassunto

Historically, residential segregation of Latinos has generally been seen as a result of immigration and the process of self-segregation into ethnic enclaves. This study of the 331 metropolitan areas in the United States between 1990 and 2000 shows that Latinos are facing structural



inequalities outside of the degree of African ancestry.
