Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law by Richard Rothstein, Leah Rothstein
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 13 MB
Overview: The Color of Law brilliantly recounted how government at all levels created segregation. Just Action describes how we can begin to undo it.
In his best-selling book The Color of Law, Richard Rothstein demolished the de facto segregation myth that black and white Americans live separately by choice, providing “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to the reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson). This landmark work―through its nearly one million copies sold―has helped to define the fractious age in which we live.
The Color of Law’s unrefuted account has become conventional wisdom. But how can we begin to undo segregation’s damage? “It’s rare for a writer to feel obligated to be so clear on solutions to the problems outlined in a previous book,” writes E. J. Dionne, yet Richard Rothstein―aware that twenty-first-century segregation continues to promote entrenched inequality―has done just that, teaming with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders.
