New Article / Book Review: “Housing as Holdout: Segregation in American Neighborhoods”

New Article / Book Review: Rashmi Dyal-Chand, Housing as Holdout: Segregation in American Neighborhoods, 50 Tulsa L. Rev. 329 (2015).  Abstract below:

How far have people who are not African American gone to keep African Americans out of their neighborhoods? And how far might they go? These are the questions that link the three recent books on housing reviewed in this article: Jeannine Bell, Hate Thy Neighbor: Move-In Violence and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in American Housing; Richard R.W. Brooks and Carol M. Rose, Saving the Neighborhood: Racially Restrictive Covenants, Law and Social Norms; and Douglas S. Massey et al., Climbing Mount Laurel: The Struggle for Affordable Housing and Social Mobility in an American Suburb.
