 Election Citation
|
|
Massey is a demographer who has made fundamental contributions to studies of race relations and international migrations. His ambitious studies of Mexican-American migration demonstrate the powerful cumulative forces that propel the process on both sides of the border. And his 1993 book argued persuasively that patterns of residential exclusion are the principal cause of socioeconomic disadvantage among African Americans. |
