The Color of Wealth

Borrowed this from the library where I work. I think there are two really helpful things about this book: 1) it's easy to find information on income inequality online, but wealth inequality is a bigger concept, so I appreciated the longitudinal view of how things like income inequality play out over time and across generations; and 2) this was a great survey of the actual legislative oppression that accompanies other forms of discrimination (e.g., I will never not be angry about the blatant highway robbery of the Dawes Act). I would both be interested in and afraid of what a current update to their statistics would look like, as I'm not sure if anything has changed since this was written, let alone for the better. Which I guess means this is still an important piece of scholarship!
