This is a comparative study of the relationship between civil
rights law, housing and urban policy in Britain and the United
States. It focuses on the ways in which governments have attempted
to remove racial discrimination and disadvantage in private and
public sector housing. The study, first published in 1977, does not
simply consist of an account of administrative and judicial
attempts to remove discrimination. A major concern is to place
civil rights laws in their total political, economic and social
environments. The book explains and compares the nature of racial
residential change in both countries, and assesses the impact of
civil rights law on existing patterns of discrimination and
disadvantage. Other public policies, in particular housing and
urban policies, are examined and their relationship to
anti-discrimination measures is analysed. In explaining differences
between the two countries, emphasis is placed on the role of
government in urban society, the political economies of urban
areas, and the social and political differences between minority
groups. Finally, the study identifies the limits to effective civil
rights law enforcement and provides some indication as to the
policy alternatives open to decision-makers in the two countries.
