Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

Finally finally got my brain in shape to tackle the hefty paragraphs of this very insightful book. Laser focused on the intersectionality of race and gender in cities just like Philadelphia and St. Louis and how market-based solutions are inherently flawed as they replicate the same racist structures that created the problems; in this case, segregated metro areas, dual markets, and intentionally-neglected housing. Also very well written. The rat attacks opening chapter is unforgettable.
