This qualitative research study explores the pursuit of "The American Dream" through home-ownership in a racially segregated urban neighborhood of Boston. Revisiting the issues of racial residential segregation and theories of neighborhood disadvantage this study extends previous research by seeking to understand the choices, constraints and opportunities that both African American and West Indian home-owners saw when they bought a home in this minority, urban community. To begin to understand black home-ownership in Mattapan, I draw from three separate but related bodies of research: (1) American housing policy; (2) black residential segregation research; and (3) research into individual factors that might affect home-ownership choices: economic, racial identity, and social capital.Subjects--Topical Terms:

Using purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 African American and 11 West Indian home-owners in Mattapan. This study begins by asking what are the differences between African American and West Indian home-owners in their motives for purchasing a home and living in this community? Four further questions were examined: (1) What are the reasons homebuyers give for deciding to buy a home? (2) What led them to buy a home in Mattapan? (3) What is their experience of living there today? (4) What are their intentions to remain within the next decade and what explanations do they give for this?

This study provides some evidence that challenges theories of racial residential segregation, social isolation and neighborhood disadvantage. There is also some evidence that capital (social, human and culture) can originate in disadvantaged neighborhoods but is utilized to access services and resources outside the community. Comparisons have been made between African Americans and West Indians regarding discrimination within housing markets as renters and owners, as well as experiences in the local public school system and as victims of crime. Recommendations are made concerning racial residential segregation and home-ownership in disadvantaged urban neighborhoods.
