Housing Discrimination in U.S. Suburbs: A Bibliography

Abstract

This bibliography identifies and describes social science literature published since 1970 on suburban racial housing discrimination in the United States, emphasizing materials published since 1990. Attempts by suburbs using zoning or other means to exclude affordable and/or public housing, and real estate and lending industry discrimination are covered, as are studies of the spatial mismatch hypothesis, or suburban jobs/housing imbalance. Included as well are studies of efforts to oppose discrimination, such as fair housing enforcement, fair share housing, and the open suburbs movement. The bibliography consists of 321 annotated entries in four groups: bibliographies and reference sources, monographs (pre-and post-1990), and journal articles, with author, geographic, and subject cross-references.
