About the Author :
Kevin Fox Gotham is Professor of Sociology at Tulane University.

Review :
"This work challenges the notion that demographic change and residential patterns are 'natural' or products of free market choices ... [it] contributes greatly to our understanding of how real estate interests shaped the hyper-segregation of American cities, and how government agencies[,] including school districts, worked in tandem to further demark the separate and unequal worlds in metropolitan life." - H-Net Reviews (H-Education) "A hallmark of this book is its fine-grained analysis of just how specific activities of realtors, the FHA program, and members of the local school board contributed to the residential segregation of blacks in twentieth century urban America. A process Gotham labels the 'racialization of urban space'-the social construction of urban neighborhoods that links race, place, behavior, culture, and economic factors-has led white residents, realtors, businessmen, bankers, land developers, and school board members to act in ways that restricted housing for blacks to specific neighborhoods in Kansas City, as well as in other cities." - Philip Olson, University of Missouri-Kansas City "This is a book which is greatly needed in the field. Gotham integrates, using historical data, the involvement of the real estate industry and the collusion of the federal government in the manufacturing of racially biased housing practices. His work advances the struggle for civil rights by showing that solving the problem of racism is not as simple as banning legal discrimination, but rather needs to address the institutional practices at all levels of the real estate industry." - Talmadge Wright, author of Out of Place: Homeless Mobilizations, Subcities, and Contested Landscapes
