In Ghetto: The Invention of a Place, the History of an Idea, Princeton sociologist Mitchell Duneier (PhD University of Chicago) starts with the first ghetto, a place for Jews in sixteenth-century Italy, through the Nazi era to today. He explores how Horace Cayton and St. Clair Drake explicitly linked European Jews and African Americans in their 1945 study of segregated Chicago, Black Metropolis, and how social observers have consistently misunderstood the entanglements of race, poverty, and place in America today.
