How the Suburbs Were Segregated: Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing, 1890–1960

byPaige Glotzer

Paige Glotzer offers a new understanding of the deeper roots of suburban segregation. How the Suburbs Were Segregated combines archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history and law, How the Suburbs Were Segregated explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the developers and the business of exclusionary housing, 1890–1960 emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
