3/5

Reading this book directly after finishing Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law felt like I had the veil removed hiding the true insidious racism of the housing industry in a matter of week. While Rothstein makes compelling arguments for the existence of De Jure segregation in United States housing policy, Taylor lays bare the segregationist public-private partnership that has defined our housing markets for decades. She also records the deeply heartbreaking and personal stories of black home ownership and housing that defined the 1960s and 70s. “Predatory Inclusion” will remain a staple in my vocabulary for years to come thanks to this book.
