David M. P. Freund is associate professor of history at the University of Maryland, College Park.
“David Freund appears to have ransacked the National Archives and has uncovered a treasure trove of documents that tell an incredible story as they detail behaviors, rationales, and values on the eve of the civil rights revolution. Ultimately, he shows that the American housing market was not simply exploited by racial interests; it was born of—and set up to serve—them.”
(Arnold Hirsch, author of Making the Second Ghetto: Race and Housing in Chicago 1)“Colored Property is a sophisticated analysis of the political construction of race. In this provocative examination of federal homeownership and finance programs, Freund shows how government intervention in the housing market reinforced racial differences but masked the consequences in the rhetoric of free choice. Richly detailed and rigorous, Colored Property gives the lie to the myth of colorblindness.”
(Thomas J. Sugrue, author of The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality)“If we think of the study of race, residence, and urban policy as having been transformed long ago by Arnold Hirsch’s studies of the ‘second ghetto’ in Chicago, and more recently by Thomas Sugrue’s work on Detroit, Colored Property marks a third remaking of this critically important area of inquiry. Freund’s profound work insistently pursues the stories of white city-leavers into the suburbs and so fully links national trends with rich local examples.”
