"A Black-majority city with a history of the most severe segregation and inequity, Richmond is still grappling with this legacy as it moves into the twenty-first century. Marvin Chiles provides a unique take on Richmond's racial politics since the civil rights era by demonstrating that the city's current racial disparities in economic mobility, housing, and public education actually represent the unintended consequences of Richmond's racial reconciliation measures.
