Info on Hmong in Detroit

[edit]
  • Colasanti, Kathryn J. A. (Michigan State University) Growing Food in the City: Two Approaches to Exploring Scaling Up Urban Agriculture in Detroit. ProQuest, 2009. ISBN 1109241771, 9781109241778.

p. 56 talks about Hmong gardening practices and Hmong perceptions of the black community. However this is a master's degree thesis (for Master of Science for Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies) so I don't know if it counts as an RS.

Native Americans in Detroit

[edit]

In the 1930s and early 40s, a small but noticeable wave of Cherokee and Creek Indian groups from Oklahoma moved to Detroit. It's true many Appalachian whites and far more Southern Blacks moved to Detroit in the time period, but there's a sizable Muskogee and Cherokee community in the Detroit area. They reacted to a racially charged comment by a Michigan GOP official on "throwing Indians into Detroit and putting a fence around it". http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/21/michigan-gop-official-herd-all-the-indians-to-detroit-build-a-fence-and-throw-in-corn/ There's a Native American cultural center in nearby Redford Township. http://www.naiadetroit.org/ 71.102.1.95 (talk) 11:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Racial segregation in Detroit gay community

[edit]

Sourced article is unclear whether segregation is de facto based on neighborhood and concentrations the gay community in Detroit by race, or acting as intended. Is the difference between segregation by design and unintentional segregation by location beneficial to distinguish? --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 06:34, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
