“…The Windermere clinic primarily serves individuals and families from the south side of Chicago, which contains a black middle class enclave where 60% work in whitecollar jobs and the median family income is above the Chicago median. 30 The south side also contains very poor neighborhoods and the catchment area of the clinic overlaps all of these neighborhood types. The demographics of the patient population are rather unique in terms of representing the diversity that is seen within the African American population, which is not always true of similar clinics or practices located in other urban areas in the country, which tend to serve mostly Caucasians.…”

Findings suggest that effective palliative care programs for patients with dementia need to understand and address the various sources and types of caregiver strain; provide adequate support to caregivers for the management of problem behaviors; provide counseling to help cope with the emotional reactions to the cognitive and behavioral changes associated with dementia progression; facilitate communication with the health care team; and broker access to community and other resources for assistance with functional limitations. Further research examining changes in strain over time will provide useful insights on the delivery of care and services for patients with dementia and their families in a palliative care framework.

“…Decreased discrimination against Blacks in housing and employment combined with increased access to higher education through affirmative action (Bowen and Bok 1998;Nettles, Perna, and Millett 1998) has resulted in a growing Black middle class that has been rapidly establishing a suburban presence over the past several decades (Logan and Schneider 1984;Pattillo-McCoy 2000;Pattillo 2005;Wiese 2004). Has this suburbanization helped to erode the spatial separation Blacks have experienced from other groups?…”

This article explores the relationship between Black shifts to the suburbs and metropolitan segregation using the decompositional properties of the entropy index. This method reveals that much of the decline in metropolitan segregation of Blacks from others is because of declining central city segregation; suburban segregation has much lower average declines. Furthermore, a growing proportion of Black/other segregation is explained by residential distributions within the suburbs. Uneven distributions of Blacks across city lines account for nearly a third of Black/other segregation in the Midwest and Northeast in 2000. In the West, within-suburban sorting is by far the most important component of metropolitan segregation of Blacks from others, while in the South, within-city sorting and within-suburb sorting are relatively equal in importance.

“…Blacks have not reached parity with whites on these issues however (Lareau 2003;Larkin 2007;Leondar-Wright 2005;Oliver and Shapiro 1997;Pattillo 2000;Shapiro 2004). Moreover, while blacks may have assimilated culturally they have not assimilated structurally.…”

The black middle class has been the subject of a great deal of scholarly inquiry. Recently, scholars have directed their attention towards understanding how middle class blacks negotiate their racial identity. Some contend that blacks engage in strategic assimilation, working and sometimes living alongside members of the dominant group, while simultaneously maintaining social ties with members of their own racial group. To examine changes in the size and composition of the black middle class in various suburban contexts comparisons were made of selected demographic data from 1990 and 2000. The purpose of the study is to see if middle class blacks are engaging in strategic assimilation. The findings reveal that the size of the black middle class increased between 1990 and 2000 and that demographic differences exist between members of the black middle class based upon whether or not they reside inside or outside of the suburbs. The findings support the contention that middle class blacks are not engaging in strategic assimilation.The black middle class has been the subject of a great deal of scholarly inquiry
