Synopsis

This history reveals how the U.S. government actively created and maintained residential segregation through explicit policies. It dismantles the idea that segregation was merely a result of private prejudice or economic factors, instead showing how zoning, housing subsidies, and other governmental actions enforced racial separation. The book argues for the necessity of addressing this unconstitutional past.
