Abstract

The article explores diversity and citizenship in U.S. cities. The first part of the paper argues that residential segregation is not a problem of democracy, rather it is a result of democracy. The second part of the paper argues that class diversity is more important to democratic citizenship than race diversity. It is noted that residential segregation is more pronounced in the U.S. today as people exercise their liberty.
