这项研究考察了英国和美国的种族居住融合模式。利用这两个国家2000/2001年人口普查的数据，我们计算了按出生地和特定外国出生群体划分的种族隔离指数。我们发现，在英国，黑人的种族隔离程度比美国要低得多，而出生在英国的黑人种族隔离模式往往与前者的空间同化一致(外国出生的黑人比本土出生的黑人更容易被隔离)，但在后者则不是。然而，在亚裔群体中，美国的种族隔离程度往往较低，而且出生在美国的种族隔离模式与美国的空间同化更一致，但在英国则不是。这些发现表明，在美国的黑人和英国的亚裔中，代际少数族裔的劣势依然存在。然而，我们警告说，在特定的外国出生的亚洲群体之间存在着重要的隔离水平差异，这表明同化轨迹可能因原籍国而不同。最后，在美国，包括外国出生的白人群体在内的大多数群体的种族隔离程度要高得多，这一事实表明，不仅仅与种族或外表有关的因素导致了美国更高的种族居住隔离水平。
This study examines patterns of ethnic residential integration in Great Britain and the United States. Using data from 2000/2001 censuses from these two countries, we compute segregation indexes for comparably defined ethnic groups by nativity and for specific foreign-born groups. We find that blacks are much less segregated in Great Britain than in the United States, and black segregation patterns by nativity tend to be consistent with spatial assimilation in the former country (the foreign-born are more segregated than the native-born) but not in the latter. Among Asian groups, however, segregation tends to be lower in the United States, and segregation patterns by nativity are more consistent with spatial assimilation in the United States but not in Great Britain. These findings suggest that intergenerational minority disadvantage persists among blacks in the United States and among Asians in Great Britain. We caution, however, that there are important differences in levels of segregation among specific foreign-born Asian groups, suggesting that assimilation trajectories likely differ by country of origin. Finally, the fact that segregation levels are considerably higher in the United States for a majority of groups, including white foreign-born groups, suggests that factors not solely related to race or physical appearance drive higher levels of ethnic residential segregation in the United States.
