      abstract = {"Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America's cities  came to be racially divided through de facto segregation --  that is, through individual prejudices, income differences,  or the actions of private institutions like banks and real  estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly  makes it clear that it was de jure segregation -- the laws  and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal  governments -- that actually promoted the discriminatory  patterns that continue to this day."--Jacket.},
