The Road to Resegregation

" The Road to Resegregation offers a vivid and compelling analysis of segregation, twenty-first century style. Spanning historical eras and local geographies, Schafran shows how communities of color became ground zero for the San Francisco Bay Area's foreclosure crisis. A fascinating account of the choices that produced spatial inequalities at the regional scale."--Margaret Weir, Wilson Professor of Political Science and Public and International Affairs, Brown University " This is a model of interdisciplinary investigation that exposes processes of resegregation that are happening across the US today."--Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class "Alex Schafran's The Road to Resegregation clearly highlights what so many who work in housing, development, and planning have failed to grapple with: that without a cohesive vision of urban politics, our cities will become increasingly unequal, and all but walled off to everyone but the wealthiest. Schafran focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area but the book's lessons are applicable to essentially every American city going through gentrification and redevelopment. His deep dives into data help prove his points, and Schafran is able to translate that data into writing that is accessible to a general audience."
