Linkage in the USA
‘Demographic balkanisation’ across broad regions is a “spatial segmentation of population by race-ethnicity, class, and age across broad regions, states, and metropolitan areas… driven by both immigration and long distance internal migration patterns” (Frey, 1996: 760)
Ellis and Wright (1998) condemn Frey on racial grounds indicating that he is helping to “sustain an anti-immigrant, pro-Anglo-conformist agenda that many immigrants perceive as hostile to their language and culture” (Ellis and Wright, 1998: 694)
