White Space, Black Hood

"White Space, Black Hood" by Sheryll Cashin explores the historical and ongoing construction of racialized residential divides in America, illustrating how policies and myths have entrenched inequality and created distinct white and Black neighborhoods. Drawing on nearly two decades of research across multiple cities, Cashin advocates for dismantling these deeply rooted structures to promote racial and economic equity. The book emphasizes a shift in societal perspectives and calls for comprehensive investment in Black communities to foster meaningful change.
