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...
评分美国是三权分立的吃螃蟹者,然而美国的立国先贤即使思想再超前,他们也不能逃过时代的局限。 法律从来不是一成不变的,因为法律是经济的反应,经济是流动的,法律也是实时变化的。法律只要是人制定的、执行的,它不管怎么被标榜,终究还是要受人的影响,尤其是受多数利益者影响...
评分本书的作者是美国有色人种促进协会(NAACP)的一位研究员。 美国的漫长而延续至今的种族歧视与隔离的现象,是每个人多多少少了解或是有体会的。但本书的重心,放在了联邦、州、县的法律法规、公共政策层面的歧视。 刚刚翻看这本书的前面几章,我心里是有些抵触的。我比较想要看...

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.
评分翔实的数据解释美国黑人与白人之间资产(主要是房产)的巨大差距,一战二战前后,黑人大规模离开南方进入北方工厂寻找就业机会,与此同时,许多针对黑人的歧视政策也开始产生,譬如政府支持的房贷不贷给黑人,街区划分时禁止出租出售给本片区的少数人群,造成城市里种族隔离越来越严重。二战之后,许多白人买到了房产,而黑人没有,几十年以后,即使这样的政策本身被取消,房价飞涨,当年失去买房机会的人也很难迎头赶上。如果没有时间读整本书,听这个fresh air访谈也就可以了: https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-u-s-government-segregated-america
