Abstract
Based on seven months of residence, observation, and elite interviewing in South Boston in 1976-1977, this study examines community protest against "forced busing" from the perspective of the "defended neighborhood" model. The model fits the South Boston case in almost every particular, and thereby adds to better understanding of the neighbor hood's prolonged and intense resistance to busing and school desegregation.Keywords
