Rothstein's work should make everyone, all across the political spectrum, reconsider what it is we allow those in power to do in the name of 'social harmony' and 'progress' with more skepticism... The Color of Law shows what happens when Americans lose their natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or in the case of African-Americans, when there are those still waiting to receive them in full., A powerful and disturbing history of residential segregation in America . . . One of the great strengths of Rothstein's account is the sheer weight of evidence he marshals. . . . While the road forward is far from clear, there is no better history of this troubled journey than 'The Color of Law.' -- David Oshinsky (New York Times Book Review) Masterful...The Rothstein book gathers meticulous research showing how governments at all levels long employed racially discriminatory policies to deny blacks the opportunity to live in neighborhoods with jobs, good schools and upward mobility. -- Jared Bernstein (Washington Post) Essential...Rothstein persuasively debunks many contemporary myths about racial discrimination....Only when Americans learn a common--and accurate--history of our nation's racial divisions, he contends, will we then be able to consider steps to fulfill our legal and moral obligations. For the rest of us, still trying to work past 40 years of misinformation, there might not be a better place to start than Rothstein's book. -- Rachel M. Cohen (Slate) Rothstein's work should make everyone, all across the political spectrum, reconsider what it is we allow those in power to do in the name of 'social harmony' and 'progress' with more skepticism...The Color of Law shows what happens when Americans lose their natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or in the case of African-Americans, when there are those still waiting to receive them in full. -- Carl Paulus (American Conservative) Virtually indispensable... I can only implore anyone interested in understanding the depth of the problem to read this necessary book. -- Don Rose (Chicago Daily Observer) Original and insightful...The central premise of [Rothstein's] argument...is that the Supreme Court has failed for decades to understand the extent to which residential racial segregation in our nation is not the result of private decisions by private individuals, but is the direct product of unconstitutional government action. The implications of his analysis are revolutionary. -- Geoffrey R. Stone, author of Sex and the Constitution Through meticulous research and powerful human stories, Rothstein reveals a history of racism hiding in plain sight and compels us to confront the consequences of the intentional, decades-long governmental policies that created a segregated America. -- Sherrilyn A. Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Masterful...Rothstein documents the deep historical roots and the continuing practices in law and social custom that maintain a profoundly un-American system holding down the nation's most disadvantaged citizens. -- Thomas B. Edsall, author of The Age of Austerity This wonderful, important book could not be more timely...With its clarity and breadth, the book is literally a page-turner. -- Florence Roisman, William F. Harvey Professor of Law, Indiana University One of those rare books that will be discussed and debated for many decades. Based on careful analyses of multiple historical documents, Rothstein has presented what I consider to be the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation. -- Wiliam Julius Wilson, author of The Truly Disadvantaged At once analytical and passionate, The Color of Law discloses why segregation has persisted, even deepened, in the post-civil rights era, and thoughtfully proposes how remedies might be pursued. A must-read. -- Ira Katznelson, author of the Bancroft Prize-winning Fear Itself, Masterful...

I can only implore anyone interested in understanding the depth of the problem to read this necessary book., There's a really important book that came out... called The Color of Law. It explains how a lot of the racial segregation taking place in our neighborhoods that we maybe treat today as de facto actually happened as the result of very specific and very racist policy choices, going back at least to the F.D.R. Administration. You would think it would make sense if resources went into creating that racial inequity that resources would go into reversing it., A powerful and disturbing history of residential segregation in America.... One of the great strengths of Rothstein's account is the sheer weight of evidence he marshals.... While the road forward is far from clear, there is no better history of this troubled journey than The Color of Law., Rothstein's comprehensive and engrossing book reveals just how the U.S. arrived at the 'systematic racial segregation we find in metropolitan areas today,' focusing in particular on the role of government.... This compassionate and scholarly diagnosis of past policies and prescription for our current racial maladies shines a bright light on some shadowy spaces.

Synopsis
Widely heralded as a "masterful" ( Washington Post ) and "essential" ( Slate ) history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law offers "the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation" (William Julius Wilson). Exploding the myth of de facto segregation arising from private prejudice or the unintended consequences of economic forces, Rothstein describes how the American government systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning; public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities; subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs; tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation; and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods. A groundbreaking, "virtually indispensable" study that has already transformed our understanding of twentieth-century urban history ( Chicago Daily Observer ), The Color of Law forces us to face the obligation to remedy our unconstitutional past., New York Times Bestseller * Notable Book of the Year * Editors' Choice Selection One of Bill Gates' "Amazing Books" of the Year One of Publishers Weekly's 10 Best Books of the Year Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction An NPR Best Book of the Year Winner of the Hillman Prize for Nonfiction Gold Winner * California Book Award (Nonfiction) Finalist * Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) Finalist * Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize This "powerful and disturbing history" exposes how American governments deliberately imposed racial segregation on metropolitan areas nationwide (New York Times Book Review)., One of Publishers Weekly's 10 Best Books of 2017Longlisted for the National Book AwardThis "powerful and disturbing history" exposes how American governments deliberately imposed racial segregation on metropolitan areas nationwide (New York Times Book Review)., Widely heralded as a "masterful" (Washington Post) and "essential" (Slate) history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law offers "the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation" (William Julius Wilson).

- l***o (11)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI bought 3 items in the same transaction with the same seller. GREAT EXPERIENCE. All three (Spaceballs BR, Robot Chicken Star Wars 3 DVD & Star Wars Trilogy BR/DVD combo) arrived in excellent condition, just as described. Good packaging. NOT THE SELLER’S FAULT, but it took over 19 days to arrive to Mexico City. Shipping is slow to my country from the US. And expensive. It helped a little to buy them altogether.
- l***3 (19)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufVERY impressed with this seller!! I reached out before purchasing the DVD, and they answered me within a day. Friendly communication. Lightning fast shipping. And the DVD itself was as described--brand new and still in its original shrink wrap. I'm so grateful to have such a beautiful copy of this disc, thanks to this awesome seller! Thank you so much!!
- l***5 (506)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufBook arrived in excellent condition, looked new. It was not the edition pictured in the listing. Since I was buying it to complete a collection, I was looking for the same edition to match the others in the series. Seller promptly responded & refunded, so no complaint about the seller. This is not the first seller I've bought from that used a stock photo that didn't match the edition of the listing. I don't mind a stock photo, but wish booksellers would use the stock photo that matches.
