Preferred term

resegregation  

Definition

  • The term resegregation refers to the phenomena in which social institutions and neighborhoods undergo a reverse in racial integration. Coined by social researchers, the term is most often used to describe Black and White segregation, although recent investigations have also focused on White resegregation from all racial minorities, including Latinos and other immigrant groups.
