Reviews
an original case study * A.E Kulikowski, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 *
I highly recommend Korver-Glenn's book to housing scholars for both its important methodological intervention and her insights from the field. For housing practitioners and policymakers, I recommend the penultimate recommendations chapter, which has implementable policies for regulation and oversight, such as recommendations for building a more just appraising profession. * Stephen Sherman, Journal of the American Planning Association * an original case study * A.E Kulikowski, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 *
"I highly recommend Korver-Glenn's book to housing scholars for both its important methodological intervention and her insights from the field. For housing practitioners and policymakers, I recommend the penultimate recommendations chapter, which has implementable policies for regulation and oversight, such as recommendations for building a more just appraising profession. * Stephen Sherman, Journal of the American Planning Association * For scholars of neighborhoods, housing, and racial segregation, Dr. Korver-Glenn offers an insightful look into the role of real estate professionals in patterning inequality and reifying racial segregation.... Dr. Korver-Glenn offers an opportunity to apply the Race Brokers framework beyond the field of housing, helping sociologists better understand how racist ideas and tropes inform other unequal power relationships and market exchanges. * Brian J. McCabe, Social Forces * Race Brokers: Housing Markets and Segregation in 21st Century Urban America...is an engaging and compelling ethnography that convincingly argues that racial segregation is not the by-product of ""natural"" or ""race-neutral"" factors...the book shows that segregation results from the racist practices of a constellation of housing market professionals. * Meredith Greif, Johns Hopkins University *"
