Background on Richard Rothstein
About the Original Book:
Rothstein leaves no stone unturned as he recounts the worst of racism and federally-sanctioned segregation in the United States. He covers everything from the forced segregation of already integrated neighborhoods, Supreme Court decisions allowing local communities to bar the sales of homes to black families, the forced movement of black Americans into slums and ghettos, the inability for African Americans to receive federal support in buying homes, the inability of African Americans to receive fair treatment and pay in unions and at work, and the violence and intimidation against black Americans that was allowed to take place by local police, among other things.
His thesis is simple: The current segregation that plagues American cities and suburbs is no accident - it is the product of design of a century of such explicitly racist policies not only being ignored by the federal government, but actively promoted by them.
