1 author picked Moving Toward Integration as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Richard Sander, whom I have known and respected for years, has, with his colleagues, written a deeply comprehensive and authoritative book on the origins of housing segregation, the consequences, and what to do about it.

The book is a stirring call for action.
