- Presents an interdisciplinary perspective to the practice of redlining
- Connects the literature on social exclusion and financial exclusion
Reviews:
'An important book that fills the empirical and theoretical gaps in the literature on the sociology and geography of mortgage markets. The book is a fantastic, empirically rich and theoretically innovative exploration of the historical trajectory of urban disinvestment (redlining) and social exclusion that compares the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands. This book should be read by anyone with an interest in housing finance systems, real estate, comparative metropolitan development, and financial globalization.'
-- Kevin Fox Gotham, Tulane University, USA
‘The most detailed, exhaustive and insightful treatment of residential redlining available, the author unwraps the corporate and financial means and mechanisms of disinvestment in the housing market. If you are starting to suspect that “housing consumers” are just production inputs for transnational profit grabbing by builders and money lenders, this book will show you how it really works. A solid and comprehensive piece of research.’
-- Neil Smith, Graduate Center, CUNY
