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

by Paige Glotzer

The story of the rise of the segregated suburb often begins during the New Deal and the Second World War, when sweeping federal policies hollowed out cities, pushed rapid suburbanization, and created a white homeowner class intent on defending racial barriers. Paige Glotzer offers a new understanding of the deeper roots of suburban segregation.
