从20世纪60年代到80年代，黑人中产阶级很少受到学术界的关注，当时的重点是研究黑人城市贫民。然而，最近人们越来越关注这一群体及其居住环境。这篇评论涵盖了种族和阶级隔离的主题，黑人中产阶级社区的比较福祉，以及居住偏好，并对黑人郊区化和黑人中产阶级化给予了一定的关注。研究结果清楚地表明，美国的中产阶级黑人比贫穷黑人有更有利的居住结果，但在所有措施中，他们仍然生活在比大多数白人更贫穷的社区。民族志研究更深入地探讨了这种边缘地位。我认为，如果种族融合是各种种族差异的补救措施，那么更富有成效的奋进可能是研究白色社区的意识形态，实践和文化，而不是黑人。
The black middle class received little scholarly attention from the 1960s through the 1980s, when the emphasis was on studying the black urban poor. Recently, however, there has been an increase in attention to this group and their residential environs. This review covers the topics of racial and class segregation, the comparative well-being of black middle-class neighborhoods, and residential preferences, with some attention to black suburbanization and black gentrification. Research findings clearly show that middle-class blacks in the United States have more favorable residential outcomes than poor blacks but still live in poorer neighborhoods than the majority of whites on all measures. Ethnographic studies explore this marginal position in more depth. I argue that if racial integration is the remedy to various racial disparities, then the more fruitful endeavor may be to study the ideologies, practices, and cultures of white neighborhoods, rather than black ones.
