✦ Synopsis

have found this a fascinating paper, and more possibly relevant to the current upsurge of discussion of race in America than Ceri Peach realises. Before I get to that, I would like to make a few comments on terms. Ceri Peach concentrates on the facts of residential concentration of minorities in London and New York. I use the word minority' in its current American usage, in which it refers to only four groups or collections of groups (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asians, and Native Americans or American Indians). The usage of the term minority' in Britain is far more straightforward and less problematic than it is in the US. We are all aware that just who we include among minorities' in the US keeps on changing. Forty years ago, texts on American minority groups would include chapters on Jews, Italians, Poles, and the like. In fact, Jews were considered the exemplary minority group, but they have quite disappeared from the category of minority in the US. We do not today consider European ethnic groups minorities', and the European immigrants and their children once featured in American texts on minorities are indeed by many measures `assimilated'.
