The Color of Law reveals the unsettling history of how American government deliberately imposed racial segregation in metropolitan areas nationwide. Author Richard Rothstein explicates the forgotten policies and practices that systematically instigated residential segregation. He makes it unequivocal that state-sanctioned segregation is not a consequence of unintended circumstances, but of intentional and successful government design.Published in May 1, 2017
