Wright Mills Award Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShows how government created “ghettos” \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e affluent white  space and entrenched a system of American residential caste that is the  linchpin of US inequality—and issues a call for abolition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  iconic Black hood, like slavery and Jim Crow, is a peculiar American  institution animated by the ideology of white supremacy. Politicians and  people of all colors propagated “ghetto” myths to justify racist  policies that concentrated poverty in the hood and created  high-opportunity white spaces. In \u003ci\u003eWhite Space, Black Hood\u003c\/i\u003e,  Sheryll Cashin traces the history of anti-Black residential  caste—boundary maintenance, opportunity hoarding, and stereotype-driven  surveillance—and unpacks its current legacy so we can begin the work to  dismantle the structures and policies that undermine Black lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing  on nearly 2 decades of research in cities including Baltimore, St.  Louis, Chicago, New York, and Cleveland, Cashin traces the processes of  residential caste as it relates to housing, policing, schools, and  transportation. She contends that geography is now central to American  caste. Poverty-free havens and poverty-dense hoods would not exist if  the state had not designed, constructed, and maintained this physical  racial order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCashin calls for abolition of these  state-sanctioned processes. The ultimate goal is to change the lens  through which society sees residents of poor Black neighborhoods from  presumed thug to presumed citizen, and to transform the relationship of  the state with these neighborhoods from punitive to caring. She calls  for investment in a new infrastructure of opportunity in poor Black  neighborhoods, including richly resourced schools and neighborhood  centers, public transit, Peacemaker Fellowships, universal basic  incomes, housing choice vouchers for residents, and mandatory inclusive  housing elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDeeply researched and sharply written, \u003ci\u003eWhite Space, Black Hood\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to action for repairing what white supremacy still breaks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncludes  historical photos, maps, and charts that illuminate the history of  residential segregation as an institution and a tactic of racial  oppression.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57321248162174,"sku":"NW9780807000298","price":19.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780807000298.jpg?v=1778686522","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/white-space-black-hood","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
