In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America’s cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation―that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation―the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments―that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
Through extraordinary revelations and extensive research that Ta-Nehisi Coates has lauded as "brilliant" (The Atlantic), Rothstein comes to chronicle nothing less than an untold story that begins in the 1920s, showing how this process of de jure segregation began with explicit racial zoning, as millions of African Americans moved in a great historical migration from the south to the north.

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited future discrimination but did nothing to reverse residential patterns that had become deeply embedded. Yet recent outbursts of violence in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson, and Minneapolis show us precisely how the legacy of these earlier eras contributes to persistent racial unrest. “The American landscape will never look the same to readers of this important book” (Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund), as Rothstein’s invaluable examination shows that only by relearning this history can we finally pave the way for the nation to remedy its unconstitutional past.
Richard Rothstein is a research associate of the Economic Policy Institute and a Fellow at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He lives in California, where he is a Fellow of the Haas Institute at the University of California–Berkeley.
For who believe this difficult history of America, this is a great book to read about racial separation and discrimination. For who don't believe, the book will in a trash can.

诚如另外一部分读者所言,此书资料翔实,立论有据,加之严肃的题材,读起来枯燥无趣,略微伤脑。但读着读着竟浮现出小时候常玩的《大富翁》游戏画面,美国白人们为了阻碍非裔美国人通过住房进行民族融合的政策手段与游戏里为了打败对手而使用的卡牌道具不谋而合。只不过虚拟游...
评分 评分作为资本主义世界的“自由国度”,美国的制度优势广泛为人所知,不过,美国社会也存在不少问题,其中就包括种族问题。在民权运动取得瞩目成功之前,美国的种族隔离状况可谓令人瞠目(现在也没有完全扭转):相比白人公民,黑人公民在教育、就业、婚姻、住房、交通等方面遭遇到...
评分美国是三权分立的吃螃蟹者,然而美国的立国先贤即使思想再超前,他们也不能逃过时代的局限。 法律从来不是一成不变的,因为法律是经济的反应,经济是流动的,法律也是实时变化的。法律只要是人制定的、执行的,它不管怎么被标榜,终究还是要受人的影响,尤其是受多数利益者影响...
