Antero Pietila: Not in My Neighborhood, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Antero Pietila's history of Baltimore shows how American cities were literally shaped by discrimination. Following Baltimore from its early suburbanization in the 1880s into the first decade of the twenty-first century, Pietila reveals the effects of systemic racism on urban development. He explores how governmental housing policies created segregated neighborhoods and widespread racism drove trends like "white flight" that contributed to the ghettoization of non-white neighborhoods in cities across the United States.
