Paige Glotzer offers a new understanding of the deeper roots of suburban segregation. The mid-twentieth-century policies that favored exclusionary housing were not simply the inevitable result of popular and elite prejudice, she reveals, but the culmination of a long-term effort by developers to use racism to structure suburban real estate markets. Glotzer charts how the real estate industry shaped residential segregation, from the emergence of large-scale suburban development in the 1890s to the postwar housing boom. Focusing on the Roland Park Company as it developed Baltimore's wealthiest, whitest neighborhoods, she follows the money that financed early segregated suburbs, including the role of transnational capital, mostly British, in the U.S. housing market. She also scrutinizes the business practices of real estate developers, from vetting homebuyers to negotiating with municipal governments for services. She examines how they sold the idea of the suburbs to consumers and analyzes their influence in shaping local and federal housing policies. Glotzer then details how Baltimore's experience informed the creation of a national real estate industry with professional organizations that lobbied for planned segregated suburbs. How the Suburbs Were Segregated sheds new light on the power of real estate developers in shaping the origins and mechanisms of a housing market in which racial exclusion and profit are still inextricably intertwined"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Discrimination in housing $z Baltimore $z Baltimore $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Housing policy $z Baltimore $z Baltimore $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Suburbs $z Baltimore $z Baltimore $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Discrimination in housing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895081 650 7 $a Housing policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962432 650 7 $a Suburbs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136941 651 7 $a Maryland $z Baltimore. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204292 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Glotzer, Paige, $t How the suburbs were segregated $b First. $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2020. $z 9780231542494 $w (DLC) 2019043863 830 0 $a Columbia studies in the history of U.S. capitalism. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B74EA6CFE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
