American apartheid
segregation and the making of the underclass
Book • 1993
American Apartheid explores how racial residential segregation has led to the concentration of poverty in African American communities, creating an urban underclass.
The authors argue that despite legal efforts like the Fair Housing Act, segregation persists through individual actions, institutional practices, and governmental policies, exacerbating social and economic disparities.
