A half century after the Fair Housing Act, despite ongoing
transformations of the geography of privilege and poverty,
residential segregation by race and income continues to shape urban
and suburban neighborhoods in the United States. Why do people live
where they do? What explains segregation's persistence? And why is
addressing segregation so complicated? The Dream Revisited brings
together a range of expert viewpoints on the causes and
consequences of the nation's separate and unequal living patterns.
Leading scholars and practitioners, including civil rights
advocates, affordable housing developers, elected officials, and
fair housing lawyers, discuss the nature of and policy responses to
residential segregation. Essays scrutinize the factors that sustain
segregation, including persistent barriers to mobility and complex
neighborhood preferences, and its consequences from health to home
finance and from policing to politics. They debate how actively and
in what ways the government should intervene in housing markets to
foster integration. The book features timely analyses of issues
such as school integration, mixed income housing, and responses to
gentrification from a diversity of viewpoints. A probing
examination of a deeply rooted problem, The Dream Revisited offers
pressing insights into the changing face of urban inequality.
