Chasing America: Notes from a Rock 'n' Soul Integrationist
"And I thought I knew this crazy-brave black boy who bolted out of a Harlem ghetto into a white prep school and bobbed and weaved his way across the treacherous divide between black and white America But Dennis Watlington's life story is even more astonishing than I knew. He emerges a no-jive black integrationist who is proud of the slave ancestry that makes him a solid American foreperson." –Gail Sheehy, bestselling author of Passages and Understanding Men's Passages Chasing America is a rollercoaster ride through promise and poverty, affirmative action and addiction, and a powerful story that captures a life and an era that is seminally American.
Born in Harlem in 1952, Dennis developed a heroin habit at the age of 14, kicked it, and received a scholarship to the Hotchkiss School where he was elected president of his class. He went on to NYU, became involved in film and theater (he had a small role in The Deerhunter and gave Bruce Willis his start in a play called Bullpen), got addicted to crack, kicked that, and became an Emmy winning television writer.
Chasing America shows us the best and worst that America offers to a Black man—from the Jim Crow South to boarding school life in New England to backstage at the Fillmore East to a holding cell in Bellevue Hospital.
Part Ellison, part Exley, Chasing America is an amazing story. .

Residential segregation in an all-integrationist world [An article from: Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization]
This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: This paper presents a variation of the Schelling [J. Math. Sociol. 1 (1971) 143; T.C. Schelling, Micromotives and Macrobehavior, Norton, New York, 1978] model to show that segregation emerges and persists even if every person in the society prefers to live in a half-black, half-white neighborhood. In contrast to Schelling's inductive approach, we formulate neighborhood transition as a spatial game played on a lattice graph. The model is rigorously analyzed using techniques recently developed in stochastic evolutionary game theory. We derive our primary results mathematically and use agent-based simulations to explore the dynamics of segregation. .
