Ambrose, Andrew M. "Redrawing the Color Line: The History and Patterns of Black Housing in Atlanta, 1940-1973," Emory University, April 1992. Advisor: Dana F. White (23, 1, 2)
This dissertation utilizes traditional historical sources and factor analysis of census tract data to identify and chart the changing distribution and differentiation of Atlanta’s black (and white) community by measures of family and socio-economic status. The analysis reveals that while the distribution of Atlanta’s white metropolitan population by 1970 had assumed patterns similar to those found in other large U.S. cities, spatial differentiation by socio-economic and family status in Atlanta’s majority black tracts was much less clear-cut than in white neighborhoods and differed sharply even from those patterns found in other urban black communities. This dissertation evaluates the institutions, forces, and practices that contributed to these distinctive black residential patterns.
