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

3.25

Honestly, the book is a textbook. While full of important rhetoric like “the desegregation of residential America”...it is also riddled with academic language making it an extremely tough read. 

I particularly liked the notes on coining the term “code switching” and the reinforcing points on Regans racist presidency (via the drug war and not properly funding the fair housing act).
