In the United States, homeownership is synonymous with economic
security and middle-class status. It has played this role in
American life for almost a century, and as a result,
homeownership's centrality to Americans' economic lives has come to
seem natural and inevitable. But this state of affairs did not
develop spontaneously or inexorably. On the contrary, it was the
product of federal government policies, established during the
1930s and developed over the course of the twentieth century. At
the Boundaries of Homeownership traces how the government's role in
this became submerged from public view and how several groups who
were locked out of homeownership came to recognize and reveal the
role of the government. Through organizing and activism, these
boundary groups transformed laws and private practices governing
determinations of credit-worthiness. This book describes the
important policy consequences of their achievements and the
implications for how we understand American statebuilding.
