I would like to highlight a paper called Italian American Urban Landscapes
Images of Social and Cultural Capital by Jerome Krase. I was thinking about the argument of space versus race in Kasarda's article so I googled it.Kasarda talks about race.He asks questions like why it takes some races longer to leave blighted areas than others. He delves specifically in why black people seem stuck in these neighborhoods. This article interests me because it specifically references my neighborhood of Canarsie, Brooklyn. He also is more interested in space than race. He talks of this new concept known as "spatial semiotics" which I find fascinating. His definition: "spatial semeiotics studies the metropolis as a meaningful environment".
