本书从写作、用语到翻译校对皆审慎严谨,光是注释和附录就占据大概四分之一篇幅,处处体现着一种好好说理的“死磕”范儿,值得人学习。 在阅读的过程中,能感受到作者仿佛在进行演说,事例、数据和结论交替,并且注意到了陈述的既不偏激又不含糊,力道足却不咄咄逼人;虽然就一...
评分这是一本注释、参考文献和图片来源就有100页左右的书,非常考据、也很学术。 很多人都以为种族隔离、种族歧视是一种个人行为。但作者在这本书中很尖锐地指出,美国的种族隔离的背后,其实是有美国政府的决策和法律支持的。这些带有明显种族倾向的政府行为违宪剥夺了非裔美国人...
评分作为资本主义世界的“自由国度”,美国的制度优势广泛为人所知,不过,美国社会也存在不少问题,其中就包括种族问题。在民权运动取得瞩目成功之前,美国的种族隔离状况可谓令人瞠目(现在也没有完全扭转):相比白人公民,黑人公民在教育、就业、婚姻、住房、交通等方面遭遇到...

In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America’s cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation―that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation―the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments―that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
Through extraordinary revelations and extensive research that Ta-Nehisi Coates has lauded as "brilliant" (The Atlantic), Rothstein comes to chronicle nothing less than an untold story that begins in the 1920s, showing how this process of de jure segregation began with explicit racial zoning, as millions of African Americans moved in a great historical migration from the south to the north.

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited future discrimination but did nothing to reverse residential patterns that had become deeply embedded. Yet recent outbursts of violence in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson, and Minneapolis show us precisely how the legacy of these earlier eras contributes to persistent racial unrest. “The American landscape will never look the same to readers of this important book” (Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund), as Rothstein’s invaluable examination shows that only by relearning this history can we finally pave the way for the nation to remedy its unconstitutional past.

评分well now I get why those old white people hate multi-family homes and urban life. #things I learned from work
评分#非常厉害的历史研究作品,梳理客观而尖锐,就连展望未来的最后一节的论述都能保持这种克制而真实的书写态度,实在让人敬佩。如果要了解种族隔离和当前美国的种族现状,这本书应该算是“必须读”。
评分花了一个晚上和早上读了书的前一半,最喜欢这句: we say we seek diversity, not racial integration。 读后反思是:Is racial integration really a good option?
评分For who believe this difficult history of America, this is a great book to read about racial separation and discrimination. For who don't believe, the book will in a trash can.
