Elizabeth Korver-Glenn examines how housing market professionals–including housing developers, real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and appraisers–construct contemporary urban housing markets in ways that contribute to neighborhood inequality and racial segregation. Race Brokers highlights the imperative to interrupt the racism that pervades housing market professionals’ work, dismantle the racialized routines that underwrite such racism, and cultivate a truly fair housing market.
