“The most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state,
and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighbourhood
segregation” (William Julius Wilson), The Color of Law has become
a landmark work, selling nearly 1,000,000 copies. Aware that
twenty-first-century segregation continues to promote inequality
and exploit political polarisation, Richard Rothstein paired with
housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a book
that energises local organisations to win community victories that
might finally challenge residential segregation and cascade into a
groundswell movement. The co-authors have produced a social
blueprint for community leaders, concerned residents and everyday
citizens alike, insisting that the private sector take
responsibility for redressing the segregation that it played a
large part in creating. Whether providing strategies for protecting
renters’ rights and security, diminishing the dangerous
black-white wealth gap, opening up exclusive white areas to diverse
residents or stemming “white flight” from neighbourhoods in
transition, Just Action, with trenchant insight, provides the
groundwork for remedying America’s profoundly unconstitutional
past.
