Segregation: The Rising Costs for America documents how
discriminatory practices in the housing markets through most of the
past century, and that continue today, have produced extreme levels
of residential segregation that result in significant disparities
in access to good jobs, quality education, homeownership attainment
and asset accumulation between minority and non-minority
households.
The book also demonstrates how problems facing minority
communities are increasingly important to the nation 's long-term
economic vitality and global competitiveness as a whole. Solutions
to the challenges facing the nation in creating a more equitable
society are not beyond our ability to design or implement, and it
is in the interest of all Americans to support programs aimed at
creating a more just society.
The book is uniquely valuable to students in the social sciences
and public policy, as well as to policy makers, and city
planners.
