Preferred term

segregation and desegregation  

Definition(s)

  • Though people are naturally inclined to live near others with similar characteristics, for a power or authority to mandate that condition as a tool of discrimination amounts to segregation. Segregation results from ignorance, intolerance, and inaction from those who could change the situation. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Segregation and Desegregation]
