Politicians and people of all colors propagated \"ghetto\" myths to justify racist policies that concentrated poverty in the hood and created high-opportunity white spaces. In \u003ci\u003eWhite Space, Black Hood\u003c\/i\u003e, Sheryll Cashin traces the history of anti-Black residential caste--boundary maintenance, opportunity hoarding, and stereotype-driven surveillance--and unpacks its current legacy so we can begin the work to dismantle the structures and policies that undermine Black lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on nearly 2 decades of research in cities including Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, and Cleveland, Cashin traces the processes of residential caste as it relates to housing, policing, schools, and transportation. She contends that geography is now central to American caste. Poverty-free havens and poverty-dense hoods would not exist if the state had not designed, constructed, and maintained this physical racial order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCashin calls for abolition of these state-sanctioned processes. The ultimate goal is to change the lens through which society sees residents of poor Black neighborhoods from presumed thug to presumed citizen, and to transform the relationship of the state with these neighborhoods from punitive to caring. She calls for investment in a new infrastructure of opportunity in poor Black neighborhoods, including richly resourced schools and neighborhood centers, public transit, Peacemaker Fellowships, universal basic incomes, housing choice vouchers for residents, and mandatory inclusive housing elsewhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDeeply researched and sharply written, \u003ci\u003eWhite Space, Black Hood\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to action for repairing what white supremacy still breaks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncludes historical photos, maps, and charts that illuminate the history of residential segregation as an institution and a tactic of racial oppression.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSheryll Cashin\u003c\/b\u003e is an acclaimed author who writes about the US struggle with racism and inequality.
