Description

"Despite the commonly held perception that most Northern citizens embraced racial equality, As Long As They Don't Move Next Door demonstrates the variety of methods - including violence and intimidation, unjust laws, restrictive covenants, discrimination by realtors and mortgage lenders, and white flight to suburban enclaves - used by whites to thwart the racial integration of their neighborhoods. Author Stephen Grant Meyer offers the first full-length national history of American race relations examined through the lens of housing discrimination. This is important reading for anyone interested in African American history."--BOOK JACKET.
