Does a government/market/civil society framework help to explain residential changes?

Imagine the late 1970s. Southeast Asian immigrants are dispersed across the United States. A main actor here is the Federal government itself, intent through a dispersion policy to deconcentrate the incoming population. They operate under the belief that spatial assimilation (and cultural assimilation) is the best trajectory for refugees and their descendants.

In the following two decades, civil society, composed of Southeast Asian families and communities scattered across the States, find their way into ethnic enclaves and ethnic communities—most of which are in California. This was the rise of new communities, despite initial Federal policy.

From the 2000s on, these very communities face market pressures that threaten to disperse them yet again. In the era of hypergentrication and residential displacement, communities are finding that it is the housing market (the product of decades of policies that have failed the working class and communities of color) that threatens family and community cohesion.

I am thinking of Erik Olin Wright and the public sociologists as a loose grounding for this framework, which I explain very simplistically. I would love any thoughts and reading recommendations!
