Hate Thy Neighbor: Move-In Violence and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in American Housing

Jeannine Bell (Indiana University).  Hate Thy Neighbor (New York University Press, 2013).

"Puts an unsparing spotlight on one of the least discussed yet most intractable barriers to full civil rights for all Americans. . . . Stunning and tragic. . . . Hate Thy Neighbor is both empirical and poignant.  Her proposals for how to address this enduring scandal will, without any doubt, launch new reflection, new movements, new hope."
