White Flight and Percent Black: The Tipping Point Re-examined

Giles, Michael W.; And Others

Social Science Quarterly, 56, 1, 85-92, Jun 75

This article focuses on the relationship between the black/white ratio and white withdrawl from desegregated public schools in eight Florida school districts. Although a threshold was found at which the rate of rejection increased, their findings do not support the tipping point theory of resegregation. (Author/DE)
