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

4.0

Predatory inclusion — what an ingenious term. While another book was more publicly celebrated for its study of housing discrimination, Dr. Taylor’s exploration goes so much deeper and demonstrates a clearer understanding of both the overt and covert ways in which the government undermined itself and Black Americans in pursuit of stable housing and wealth accumulation. I was also intrigued to learn more about Romney (the elder) and his efforts to address home ownerships rates. The writing is very academic, but well worth the effort.
