Summary:

This book examines the history and current context of racism in housing and neighborhoods to understand how racism and white supremecy have hindered true equality. This book explores how Americans use various means - from racial intimidation to restrictive zoning - to continue to exclude entire races and classes of people from their neighborhoods and communities. We live in a society that claims to value diversity - of opinions, of religions, of perspectives, of race - but Tighe shows how spacial segregation and inequality present in society fail those values. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, policymakers, urban planners, lawyers, and advocates working in urban issues such as housing, race, and class.
