Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

challenging dark informative slow-paced

3.5

This was my bookclub book this month, which is why I love book club, cause I never would have picked it up otherwise. It’s a pretty narrowly focused history of housing discrimination and policy in the Johnson and Nixon administrations, so it was very dense. That said, I learned a lot, and I retained it more than I think I would have in a more comprehensive history of the subject. I really liked Taylor’s framing of “predatory inclusion” as well. Probably would have earned the other half star if I hadn’t read the audiobook.
