The Culture of Property - Race, Class, and Housing Landscapes in Atlanta, 1880-1950

Informationen zum Autor LeeAnn Lands is an associate professor of history and American studies at Kennesaw State University. Klappentext Examines the transition of Atlanta! Georgia! from a place little concerned with residential segregation! tasteful surroundings! and property control to one marked by extreme concentrations of poverty and racial and class exclusion. Zusammenfassung Using Atlanta as a lens to view the wider nation, LeeAnn Lands shows how assumptions about race and class have coalesced with attitudes toward residential landscape aesthetics and home ownership to shape public policies that promote and protect white privilege.
