- Summary:
- This text examines how housing market professionals - including housing developers, real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and appraisers - construct twenty-first-century urban housing markets in ways that contribute to or undermine racial segregation. Drawing on extensive ethnographic and interview data collected in Houston, Texas, the book shows that housing market professionals play a key role in connecting people - or refusing to connect people - to housing resources and opportunities.
