Résumé anglais Danielle Cohen, William Kornblum, Chicago : between class and race This paper argues that Chicago 's recent history of racial conflict and gang violence is largely due to changes in the class stratification system of the city and, especially, to negative changes in the class structure of Chicago 's African-American ghetto community. The authors review the history of class identification, segregation and desindustrialization in this well studied North American industrial city. Drawing on the classical ecological methods of the "Chicago School" and more recent quantitative work by Wilson, Massey, and others, the paper provides evidence the African-Americans bear an unequal burden of negative consequences due to the rapid economic social change the city has experienced in the past generation.
