This edited volume brings together leading researchers from the
United States, the United Kingdom and Europe to look at the
processes leading to segregation and its implications. With a
methodological focus, the book explores new methods and data
sources that can offer fresh perspectives on segregation in
different contexts. It considers how the spatial patterning of
segregation might be best understood and measured, outlines some of
the mechanisms that drive it, and discusses its possible social
outcomes. Ultimately, it demonstrates that measurements and
concepts of segregation must keep pace with a changing world. This
volume will be essential reading for academics and practitioners in
human geography, sociology, planning and public policy.

Ireland s landscape is marked by fault lines of religious,
ethnic, and political identity that have shaped its troubled
history. Troubled Geographies maps this history by detailing the
patterns of change in Ireland from 16th century attempts to "plant"
areas of Ireland with loyal English Protestants to defend against
threats posed by indigenous Catholics, through the violence of the
latter part of the 20th century and the rise of the "Celtic Tiger."
The book is concerned with how a geography laid down in the 16th
and 17th centuries led to an amalgam based on religious belief,
ethnic/national identity, and political conviction that continues
to shape the geographies of modern Ireland. Troubled Geographies
shows how changes in religious affiliation, identity, and
territoriality have impacted Irish society during this period. It
explores the response of society in general and religion in
particular to major cultural shocks such as the Famine and to long
term processes such as urbanization."
