American Apartheid: Segregation and the Making of the Underclass by Douglas S. Massey, Nancy A. Denton

4.0

The authors assemble their statistics in a smart and compelling way to drive home the point about the prevalence and effects of racist housing policies that are still with us twenty years later. The chapter on "how to build a ghetto" was particularly hard to read.

Anyone seeking to understand the practical effects of systemic racism (or just get a handle on what "systemic racism" means) should absolutely read this book.
