Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on the expertise of social scientists, civil rights attorneys, and policy analysis, these original essays present the first comprehensive examination of housing integration and federal policy during the past two decades. This broad range of representative viewpoints examines the debate over racial quotas in housing, the ambiguities of federal fair housing law, and the shifting attitudes of white and black Americans toward integration.
