Tekst achterflap

Race Brokers shows how housing market professionals contribute to unequal housing opportunities, neighborhood inequality and racial segregation through racist practices. The book tracks how professionals broker racism across the housing exchange process--from the home's construction, to real estate brokerage, mortgage lending, home appraisals, and the home sale closing.
