Losing Ground: Public Policy and the Displacement of Rural Black-Owned Homesteads
Description
This incisive study examines the long history of Black land loss in rural America, focusing on how public policies, institutional practices, and systemic inequities have displaced Black-owned homesteads. It explores the lasting effects of discriminatory lending, inadequate access to assistance, tax and inheritance challenges, and other barriers that have undermined family landownership and community stability. Grounded in research and policy analysis, the book highlights the economic, social, and cultural consequences of this displacement while identifying opportunities for more equitable housing and land-retention policies. It offers an essential perspective for policymakers, housing advocates, researchers, and readers concerned with racial justice and the future of rural communities.
