Fair Housing Comes of Age: (Contributions in Political Science)

Despite legislation designed to eliminate discrimination in housing, the ghettoization of minorities, especially Blacks, has become more severe in the past two decades. In this compelling work, George Metcalf examines the reasons why Title VIII has had so little effect, and he documents the experience of the individuals and agencies who have carried the main burden in efforts to achieve fair housing. He offers excerpts and data drawn from extensive interviews, as well as careful analyses of twelve landmark decisions involving violations such as racial steering, misinformation, harassment, redlining, and exclusionary land practices.George Metcalf is the author of 'Fair Housing Comes of Age: (Contributions in Political Science)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780313247576 and ISBN 0313247579.
