对市政有轨电车种族隔离法律的引入进行了研究。首先分析私营和公共部门隔离的经济学，注意到有轨电车行业的特殊特征，然后讨论一些南方城市关于有轨电车隔离法律的当代辩论。所提出的证据表明，隔离法是具有约束力的约束，而不仅仅是习惯做法的编纂。此外，有轨电车公司并不是种族隔离的始作俑者，有时还积极抵制这种隔离。这些发现与对种族隔离起源的几种主要解释有关。
The introduction of segregation laws for municipal streetcars is examined. The economics of private and public segregation is analyzed first, taking note of the particular features of the streetcar industry, followed by a discussion of the contemporary debates on streetcar segregation laws in a number of southern cities. The evidence presented suggests that segregation laws were binding constraints and not simply the codification of customary practice. Furthermore, the streetcar companies were not the initiators of segregation and sometimes actively resisted it. These findings are related to several major interpretations of the origins of segregation.
