ストーリー
In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

ストーリー
Beyond race or class, our lives are defined by a powerful, unspoken system of divisions. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson gives an astounding portrait of this hidden phenomenon. Linking America, India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals how our world has been shaped by caste - and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today. With clear-sighted rigour, Wilkerson unearths the eight pillars that connect caste systems across civilisations and demonstrates how our own era of intensifying conflict and upheaval has arisen as a consequence of caste.

As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is one of the few White House memoirs to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

What explains the spreading backlash against the global elite? In this revelatory investigation, Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, showing how the elite follow a 'win-win' logic, fighting for equality and justice any way they can - except ways that threaten their position at the top. But why should our gravest problems be solved by consultancies, technology companies and corporate-sponsored charities instead of public institutions and elected officials? Why should we rely on scraps from the winners?

ストーリー
It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal - that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding - reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream.
批評家のレビュー
"With confidence and clarity, narrator Adam Grupper describes discriminatory laws governing the actions of the Federal Housing Administration, Department of Education, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other government agencies that have shaped African-Americans' ability to gain wealth, health, education, and voting power, not merely in the past but in the present day.... The Color of Law is compelling and convincing - and maybe even essential." (AudioFile)
あらすじ・解説
In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation - that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation - the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments - that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
Through extraordinary revelations and extensive research that Ta-Nehisi Coates has lauded as "brilliant" (The Atlantic), Rothstein comes to chronicle nothing less than an untold story that begins in the 1920s, showing how this process of de jure segregation began with explicit racial zoning, as millions of African Americans moved in a great historical migration from the south to the north.
As Jane Jacobs established in her classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities, it was the deeply flawed urban planning of the 1950s that created many of the impoverished neighborhoods we know. Now, Rothstein expands our understanding of this history, showing how government policies led to the creation of officially segregated public housing and the demolition of previously integrated neighborhoods. While urban areas rapidly deteriorated, the great American suburbanization of the post-World War II years was spurred on by federal subsidies for builders on the condition that no homes be sold to African Americans. Finally, Rothstein shows how police and prosecutors brutally upheld these standards by supporting violent resistance to black families in white neighborhoods.
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited future discrimination but did nothing to reverse residential patterns that had become deeply embedded. Yet recent outbursts of violence in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson, and Minneapolis show us precisely how the legacy of these earlier eras contributes to persistent racial unrest. Rothstein's invaluable examination shows that only by relearning this history can we finally pave the way for the nation to remedy its unconstitutional past.

Better suited to print than audio
This book relates the essential, and depressing, history of legal segregation in the US. However the book is structured predominantly of lists with scant connective tissue in between. If you listen to it, you come away with many examples of how the law was used to promote racial segregation. But you don’t get an integrated picture of why this happened or how the legal pieces fit together. If you were reading it in print format, you would skim some of the examples and tarry over the connective segments. I recommend doing this, because the story is one Americans need to know.

A must read!!
One of the most riveting books I’ve ever read, it was impossible to stop listening. There were moments that brought me nearly to tears and I finished with so many questions on my mind. This should be required reading in order to dispel the myth of de facto segregation.

An essential read
Puts the visible, yet seemingly mysterious effects of a long history of segregation into context and perspective. A must read for anyone who's ever wondered why we are so siloed, or why "those people" are the way that they - over there.

These truths are hard on the soul, but are a must.
We live in a society which practices blindness. So many have been bludgeoned for the freedom of the majority but have yet to enjoy the freedom that our Constitution proclaims. We cannot be free or whole until we face out story and havoc it has wreaked upon African Americans.

Excellent telling of untold history
Well written, factual discussion and history of the various urban housing and development laws which have directly augmented racial segregation in America. This must be taught and explained to people, especially the youth, in order to continue our march toward racial harmony in this nation.

Great education of issues not taught in school
Great book covering a topic whitewashed from history. We must preserve history to learn from it, and stop being offended by it. When offensiveness changes history we all lose the facts that support the underlying lessons needed to avoid repeating the same mistakes. While I disagree with some aspects of the book, I highly recommend. As one who works in the affordable housing industry, I found this book fascinating and motivating.

It is clear that poverty is not an accident.
I hope that a number of educators will read this book and stop perpetuating myth that low-income African-American Children and Families are somehow incapable of overcoming the poverty and blighted conditions that they were born into. With the correct information, attitude and out look hope is possible, progress can only be made on facts not fiction.

Understand the plight of the African American
Great book. Ever wondered why the comparison between the American experience and the British experience are different? And why immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean do better than the native African American but didn't know why? This books lays it out in great detail and throughs light on the deliberate, consistent and still happening today, racist segregation policies of the United States of America that are so ingrained and hidden behind rules and learnt behaviour. The African American had both hands and one leg tied behind their back. Great book, share with your friends and educate yourself.

Well organised and insightful.
This book is very relevant today and the narration made it easy to listen to. I had to increase the speed to 1.35 though, which was ideal. As a non-American black person born into a 95% black population, I never quite understood the desire for integration. This book helped me to better understand that perspective in a concise and informative presentation. It simplified a lot of the contemporary effects of historical acts and policy by stating facts and identifying clear prejudice and discrimination.

Worthy reading and tale of caution.
History is well researched and made me quite angry at times for the blatant racism made by the US Government and it impacts today. I do also see it as a warning for all about the abuse of government power and why it should be limited. If it can do this to one select group i.e.African Americans, it can do it to all. If the government had not interfered with housing at all, I doubt African Americans would be in anywhere near the same level of poverty. Also some of the 'fixes' proposed will backfire such as minimum wages (which were created to stop African Americans from getting a job in the first place) which will make it even harder for them to get jobs as some of them will not be able to work at the required level. I would say the Government has done enough, it has to be fixed privately by American citizens and allow Blacks to gather the wealth required to get out. Any Government assistance which involves money to help will only create more injustice that will never be fixed. Anybody who wants to learn American History should add this to their reading list.

Must have read
Must have read when it comes to segregation in the USA. Although I’m in the other side of the political spectrum as the author, I must agree this is a well done research. Rothstein knows how to write and tell a story.
