Zarembka's one-volume analysis and synthesis of four major aspects
of the current housing crisis (financing/affordability, inadequate
supply of lower-priced housing, discrimination, and displacement)
provides, for each of the areas discussed, historical background, a
review of alternative methods of problem resolution, and concrete
proposals for new housing policies. Few, if any, books in the field
investigate all four topics in such detail. Drawing on her legal
training and experience, Zarembka also summarizes and interprets
key legal concepts and court decisions that are relevant to the
housing issue in terms the non-lawyer can understand. In addition,
the work proposes a comprehensive platform for resolving the
housing crisis. Chapter 1 summarizes the present housing crisis in
the United States and reviews the federal government's response to
that crisis. Issues arising in capitalist, socialist, and mixed
economies in devising an equitable housing system are discussed in
Chapter 2. Chapters 3 through 7 provide detailed analyses of the
problems of financing, production and preservation, discrimination,
and displacement, and give concrete proposals in each of those
areas. The book concludes with a chapter discussing constitutional
considerations that apply to the housing proposals, as well as
mechanisms for financing them. Public policy makers, housing
experts, urban planners, housing and community activists,
professors and students in the social sciences, minorities, and
those interested in critiques of the existing social and economic
structure will find the keen insights, systematic analysis, and
proposals for change provided here important reading. The volume
could well be used as a primary or supplemental text for courses in
urban studies, public policy, sociology, political science,
economics, social work, law, Afro-American studies, and history.
