About this product

The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein is a nonfiction paperback that examines how U.S. government policies systematically enforced racial segregation in American cities through practices like racial zoning and segregated public housing. Drawing on extensive historical research, the book challenges the common belief that residential segregation resulted from private bias or economic factors, instead revealing deliberate federal, state, and local actions. Published by Liveright Publishing Corporation in May 2018, this 368-page work is presented in a compact 5.4" x 8.2" format and falls within the social sciences genre. It has received widespread critical acclaim, including being named a New York Times Bestseller and a finalist for several major literary awards.
