Inhalt
During the 1930s, color-coded maps produced by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) allocated financial 'risk' of mortgages and loans to urban neighborhoods on the basis of racialization of space – whether the neighborhood population was predominantly white ("green: best") or black and brown ("red: hazardous" – hence redlining). As part of the New Deal measures, these maps were meant to stabilize the housing market. In essence, it meant that people in redlined areas were (and still often are) barred from mortgages and home loans – with wide-ranging consequences for families and neighborhoods. The term "redlining" became a shorthand for the "Jim Crow of the North" – a number of blatantly discriminatory and racist practices and mechanisms which have ever since segregated American cities and cemented inequality and systemic racism.

This class will trace the history of redlining, and unravel the long-term effects on (sub)urban lives, especially when it comes to asset allocation and family wealth, education, policing and criminal justice, and (environmental and reproductive) health.

Empfohlene Literatur
