Segregation wasn’t a glitch in the system — it was the system. Rothstein meticulously uncovers how government policies, real estate practices, and lending laws deliberately engineered America’s racial geography. Every red line was drawn with intent. This is the smoking gun of American housing inequality — and the history lesson every “good neighborhood” still needs to hear.
