Family Properties: Race, Real Estate, and the Exploitation of Black Urban America

By Beryl Satter
"Satter (history, Rutgers U.) provides an account of racist real-estate practices and policies in post-war Chicago and the struggles against them. She focuses in particular on the practice of "contract sellers" selling homes to black buyers at vastly inflated prices and with onerous interest and eviction provisions, a practice that was made possible by the redlining of black people by the banks and was responsible for the creation of the slums by sucking millions of dollars of wealth out of black communities. At the heart of her account are the efforts of her father, attorney Mark J. Satter, to expose and battle the profiteers and the subsequent work carried out by the Contract Buyers League."
