Abstract

Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. highlights the residential geography of Mexicans and, separately, Central Americans. The last main chapter, entitled ‘General Patterns’, depicts Los Angeles’ ethnic landscape as both diverse and segregated. The chapter features three maps. The first is a choropleth map of the predominant ethnic group by tract. It depicts Latinos, Asians, blacks and whites each in four categories by percentage of population in each tract (28–50%, 50–60%, 60–70% and 70–100%). The map (Fig. 7.1) shows that greater Los Angeles contains many tracts with concentrations of whites, Latinos and blacks. But this metropolitan region also contains a significant proportion of ethnically diverse census tracts, and Fig. 7.2 (a tract diversity map calculated using a relative entropy statistic) goes some way towards convincing the reader of this. On the one hand, then, we can see that this metropolitan area resembles many other American cities – cleaved along ethnic/racial divides. On the other hand, Los Angeles includes places of diversity, seen when we map bodies in residential neighbourhoods. The juxtaposition of these figures cleverly points perhaps to an urban future that few scholars acknowledge – one where significant portions (but certainly not all) of urban
