Housing discrimination is a civil and economic injustice, but it is also a menace to public health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With this book, George Lipsitz reveals how the injuries of housing discrimination are augmented by racial bias in home appraisals and tax assessments, by the disparate racialized effects of policing, sentencing, and parole, and by the ways in which algorithms in insurance and other spheres associate race with risk. But \u003ci\u003eThe Danger Zone Is Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e also highlights new practices emerging in health care and the law, emphasizing how grassroots community mobilizations are creating an active and engaged public sphere constituency promoting new forms of legislation, litigation, and organization for social justice.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Lipsitz shines a brilliant light on the powerful connections between discriminatory housing conditions and wealth extraction and reveals the devastating health outcomes they leave in their wake.

Through impeccable analyses and mounds of evidence, he documents convincingly how housing discrimination causes racialized residential segregation, which in turn causes disastrous health and wealth disparities for people of color. These avoidable disparities maim and kill millions of children and adults annually. Lipsitz, in chilling fashion, dissects how good people--bankers, university faculties and administrators, government leaders, insurance executives, physicians, lawyers, real estate tycoons, prison executives, public school leaders, corporate CEOs, and middle-class property holders--knowingly and unknowingly create and perpetuate housing discrimination that massively destroys the lives of marginalized populations. This book is a must-read because it shows how racialized residential segregation makes a mockery of the democratic values that America shouts from the rooftops. Lipsitz makes a bold, disciplined call for America to tear down and discontinue housing discrimination if it is to live up to its creed.\"--Aldon Morris, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Scholar Denied: W.
