Specificatii
Part family story and part urban history, a landmark investigation
of segregation and urban decay in Chicago -- and cities across the
nationThe promised land for thousands of Southern blacks, postwar
Chicago quickly became the most segregated city in the North, the
site of the nation's worst ghettos and the target of Martin Luther
King Jr.'s first campaign beyond the South. In this powerful book,
Beryl Satter identifies the true causes of the city's black slums
and the ruin of urban neighborhoods throughout the country: not, as
some have argued, black pathology, the culture of poverty, or white
flight, but a widespread and institutionalized system of legal and
financial exploitation. In Satter's riveting account of a city in
crisis, unscrupulous lawyers, slumlords, and speculators are
pitched against religious reformers, community organizers, and an
impassioned attorney who launched a crusade against the
profiteers--the author's father, Mark J. Satter. At the heart of
the struggle stand the black migrants who, having left the South
with its legacy of sharecropping, suddenly find themselves caught
in a new kind of debt peonage. Satter shows the interlocking forces
at work in their oppression: the discriminatory practices of the
banking industry; the federal policies that created the country's
shameful dual housing market; the economic anxieties that fueled
white violence; and the tempting profits to be made by preying on
the city's most vulnerable population. Family Properties: Race,
Real Estate, and the Exploitation of Black Urban America is a
monumental work of history, this tale of racism and real estate,
politics and finance, will forever change our understanding of the
forces that transformed urban America. Gripping . . . This
painstaking portrayal of the human costs of financial racism is the
most important book yet written on the black freedom struggle in
the urban North.--David Garrow, The Washington Post
