Crisis : origins and solutions -- pt. 2. Community impact -- pt. 3. Reforming the financial architecture. 330 $aSuccessful home ownership requires the availability of appropriate mortgage products. In the years leading up to the collapse of the housing market, home buyers frequently accepted mortgages that were not only wrong for them but catastrophic for the economy as a whole. When the housing market bubble burst, so did a cornerstone of the American dream for many families. Restoring the promise of this dream requires an unflinching inspection of lending institutions and the right tools to repair the structures that support solid home purchases. The American Mortgage System: Crisis and Reform focuses on the causes of the housing market collapse and proposes solutions to prevent another rash of foreclosures.Edited by two leaders in the field of real estate and finance, Susan M. Wachter and Marvin M. Smith, The American Mortgage System examines key elements of the mortgage meltdown. The volume's contributors address the influence of the Community Reinvestment Act, which is often blamed for the crisis. They uncover how the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac invested outside the housing market with disastrous results. They present surprising information about low-income borrowers and the strengths of local banks. This collection of thoughtful studies includes extensive analysis of loan practices and the creation of unstable mortgage securities, presenting data largely unavailable until now. More than a critique, The American Mortgage System offers solutions to the problems facing the future of American home ownership, including identifying asset price bubbles, calculating risk, and preventing discrimination in lending.Measured yet timely and by turns provocative, The American Mortgage System provides a careful assessment of a troubled but indispensable part of the economic and social structure of the United States. This book is a sound investment for economists, urban planners, and all who shape public policy. 410 0$aCity in the twenty-first century book series. 606 $aMortgage loans$zUnited States 606 $aSubprime mortgage loans$zUnited States 606 $aSecondary mortgage market$zUnited States 606 $aFinancial crises$zUnited States 610 $aBusiness. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aMortgage loans 615 0$aSubprime mortgage loans 615 0$aSecondary mortgage market 615 0$aFinancial crises 676 $a332.7/20973 701 $aWachter$b Susan M$0321551 701 $aSmith$b Marvin M$013187 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788578703321 996 $aThe American mortgage system$93751922 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04344nam 22007574 450 001 9910791146703321 005 20230405002703.0 010 $a0-8223-9695-5 024 7 $a10.1515/9780822396956 035 $a(CKB)2550000001341277 035 $a(OCoLC)891395258 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10904250 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001292613 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12596974 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001292613 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11303589 035 $a(PQKB)10164848 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3007925 035 $a(OCoLC)1141661244 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse80169 035 $a885010622 035 $a(DE-B1597)552919 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780822396956 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001341277 100 $a20140731d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aImpossible purities $eblackness, femininity, and Victorian culture /$fJennifer DeVere Brody 210 1$aDurham [N.C.] :$cDuke University Press,$d1998. 215 $a1 online resource (273 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-8223-2105-X 311 $a0-8223-2120-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages [221]-243) and index. 327 $aComplicating categories. --Miscegenating mulattaroons. --Casting the dye. --Masking faces. --Deforming island races. --Epilogue. 330 $aUsing Black feminist theory and African American studies to read Victorian culture, Impossible Purities looks at the construction of ?Englishness? as white, masculine, and pure and ?Americanness? as Black, feminine, and impure. Brody?s readings of Victorian novels, plays, paintings, and science fiction reveal the impossibility of purity and the inevitability of hybridity in representations of ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and race. She amasses a considerable amount of evidence to show that Victorian culture was bound inextricably to various forms and figures of Blackness. Opening with a reading of Daniel Defoe?s ?A True-Born Englishman,? which posits the mixed origins of English identity, Brody goes on to analyze mulattas typified by Rhoda Swartz in William Thackeray?s Vanity Fair, whose mixed-race status reveals the ?unseemly origins of English imperial power.? Examining Victorian stage productions from blackface minstrel shows to performances of The Octoroon and Uncle Tom?s Cabin, she explains how such productions depended upon feminized, ?Black? figures in order to reproduce Englishmen as masculine white subjects. She also discusses H.G. Wells?s The Island of Dr. Moreau in the context of debates about the ?new woman,? slavery, and fears of the monstrous degeneration of English gentleman. Impossible Purities concludes with a discussion of Bram Stoker?s novella, ?The Lair of the White Worm,? which brings together the book?s concerns with changing racial representations on both sides of the Atlantic. This book will be of interest to scholars in Victorian studies, literary theory, African American studies, and cultural criticism. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBlack people$zGreat Britain$xPublic opinion$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRace awareness$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNational characteristics, English, in literature 606 $aWomen, Black, in literature 606 $aFemininity in literature 606 $aBlack people in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aBlack race$xColor 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y19th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBlack people$xPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aRace awareness$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, English, in literature. 615 0$aWomen, Black, in literature. 615 0$aFemininity in literature. 615 0$aBlack people in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aBlack race$xColor. 676 $a820.9/358 700 $aBrody$b Jennifer DeVere$01530053 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791146703321 996 $aImpossible purities$93774789 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01475nam2 2200373 i 450 001 CFI0442728 005 20251003044141.0 010 $a8824505562 020 $aIT$b99-6969 100 $a20070221d1999 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aˆ4: ‰Sociologia politica$fMax Weber 210 $aTorino$cEdizioni di Comunità$d\1999! 215 $aIX, 573 p.$d22 cm 225 | $aBiblioteca di Comunità$v4 300 $aTrad. di Franco Casabianca, Giorgio Giordano. 410 0$1001FER0168845$12001 $aBiblioteca di Comunità$v4 461 1$1001TO00722854$12001 $aEconomia e società$fMax Weber$v4 606 $aSociologia politica$2FIR$3CFIC020200$9E 676 $a301$9SOCIOLOGIA$v19 696 $aSociologia della politica 699 $aSociologia politica$ySociologia della politica 700 1$aWeber$b, Max$f <1864-1920>$3CFIV006392$4070$032785 790 1$aWeber$b, Karl Emil Maximilian$3SBNV070004$zWeber, Max <1864-1920> 801 3$aIT$bIT-000000$c20070221 850 $aIT-BN0095 $aIT-NA0120 $aIT-NA0768 $aIT-NA0452 912 $aCFI0442728 950 2$aBiblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneo$cv. 1;4$d 01POZZO LIB.ECON MON 3413$e 0101 0000255955E VMA (0004 v. 4$fB $h20210407$i20210407 977 $a 01$a CR$a DU$a IS 996 $aSociologia politica$9890503 997 $aUNISANNIO
