Inhalt:

"George 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. Backed up by extensive and accessibly presented research, The Danger Zone Is Everywhere paves the way for an integrative understanding of how the creation and maintenance of toxic and dangerous spaces (often referred to as 'social determinants') do enormous harm to bodies, minds, and spirits."—Tricia Rose, author of Metaracism: How Systemic Racism Devastates Black Lives—And How We Break Free "Housing, health, and the arts are fundamental to precious life—not as separate categories but rather in their dynamic interrelatedness. Lipsitz exquisitely analyzes the spatial politics of both vulnerability and remedy. This beautiful book models abolition."—Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation   "With amazing clarity and precision, Lipsitz explains how race-based residential segregation and wealth differences account for existing racial disparities in health and other areas of life. His command of the data and terrific examples will make The Danger Zone Is Everywhere the 'go-to' book to understand current racial affairs in the United States. In my estimation, this is his best book to date."—Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America "In The Danger Zone Is Everywhere, Lipsitz boldly demonstrates that housing discrimination constitutes the backbone of America's devastating race and class inequalities. 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 The Scholar Denied: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology
