In "Colored Property", David M. P. Freund shows how federal
intervention spurred a dramatic shift in the language and logic of
racial integration in residential neighborhoods after World War II
- away from invocations of a mythical racial hierarchy and toward
talk of markets, property, and citizenship. Freund traces the
emergence of a powerful public-private alliance that facilitated
postwar suburban growth across the nation with federal programs
that significantly favored whites. Then, showing how this national
story played out in metropolitan Detroit, he demonstrates how
whites learned to view discrimination not as an act of racism but
as a legitimate response to the needs of the market. Illuminating
government's powerful yet still-hidden role in the segregation of
U.S. cities, "Colored Property" presents a dramatic new vision of
metropolitan growth, segregation, and white identity in modern
America.
