TeSelle, Gene. “WHAT WILL DIVERSITY MEAN FOR PUBLIC POLICY?” Southern Communities [Nashville] 31 Aug. 2000: 2. Print.

“WHAT WILL DIVERSITY MEAN FOR PUBLIC POLICY?”, published in 2000, describes studies based on “year of entry” suggesting that immigrants began by seeking housing in America in sizable numbers with their own group. They went on to steadily becoming more suburbanized and more dispersed the longer they were in the U.S. The new wave of immigration increases the variety and vitality of urban neighborhoods, which is most evident, perhaps, in the number of “ethnic restaurants.” It describes a contribution immigrants brought to this country, and how school policy should change in order to welcome these foreign cultures.
