Reviews with content warning for Racial slurs - The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America

Very informative! I had a class that mentioned the involvement of segregation in housing, and I enjoyed reading the specific cases and pieces of info! The only reason the rating isn’t higher is because this was an analysis and I prefer a bit more input of the authors experience/feelings/thoughts. Completely worth the read. I would def recommend.

While this book wasn’t the easiest read - particularly seeing how pervasive the segregation has been and how obvious it was - I feel like everyone should read it. It paints the tragic history of housing segregation so unflinchingly, but also in a way that is easy to follow and digest. Highly recommend - leave some time for reflection when you’re reading too.

A very dense, very important book. It has a lot of sources, and while it kinda seems like it's just example after example of segregation, that's because that's what happened, and this book's purpose is just to document that.
