The Color of Law is a groundbreaking exploration of how government policies in the United States deliberately enforced racial segregation in housing. This revelatory book dismantles the myth that residential segregation is purely the result of individual choices or economic disparities, revealing a deeply ingrained system of laws, zoning ordinances, and institutional practices that have perpetuated inequality for decades. Through meticulous research and powerful examples, the book sheds light on how these policies continue to shape American cities and the socioeconomic realities of millions today. |
