Session Abstract
Before 1980, most American historians distinguished de jure forms of segregation in the Jim Crow South from de facto patterns of discrimination in the urban North. Arnold Hirsch’s Making the Second Ghetto (1983) changed the debate. Hirsch demonstrated how a new state-sanctioned segregation constituted a racial exclusion that was “so pervasive, so deep, that it virtually constituted a new form of de jure segregation.”
