loppear reviewed The Color of Money by Mehrsa Baradaran
Review of 'The color of money' on Goodreads
3 stars
History of black banks Reconstruction to today, or rather a look at the recurring structural reasons black wealth and community resilience were economically undermined and destroyed at each turn. This covers all the ground of redlining, investment and deposits flowing into white finance regardless, discriminatory practices from congress, bank regulators, and on down. I think I wish the wealth aspect had been more analytically argued and foregrounded throughout.
