Housing Segregation in Suburban America since 1960: Presidential and Judicial Politics
Charles M. Lamb
This book examines national fair housing policy from 1960 through 2000 in the context of the American presidency and the country's segregated suburban housing market.  Arguing that a principal reason for suburban housing segregation lies in Richard Nixon's 1971 fair housing policy, it traces Nixon's housing legacy through each presidential administration from Gerald Ford to Bill Clinton  and as detected in the decisions of Nixon's Federal Court appointees.
