Book Synopsis
Shows how federal intervention spurred a dramatic shift in the language and logic of racial integration in residential neighborhoods after World War II - away from invocations of a mythical racial hierarchy and toward talk of markets, property, and citizenship.

Trade Review
"A creative, vital entry point to explore the tangle of federal mortgage financing, housing reform, and deep-seated racism.... This well-written, much-needed study brings together the realms of urban history, race relations, and economic opportunity." - Choice "Freund's book unravels the ties that bound (and bind) race and property, and, in the process, shows how that linkage altered white racial ideals and politics in postwar America." - Andrew Wiese, "Journal of American History."
