Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home by Anita Hill

4.0

Anita Hill writes a well captured and researched tale about how racist and sexist systems and structures work together to keep Black families from the opportunity to build and settle into their homes. She takes examples from her family's past and moves forward through history including themes from Lorraine Hansberry's life and play A Raisin in the Sun up to the implosion of the subprime mortgage market and the families who were deeply impacted. The book was published in 2011 and stops at President Obama's first term in office. It would be interesting to learn about how the last ten years have shifted the journeys for equal access to home for Black women and their families.
