More than 150 years later, that number has barely budged. The Color of Money pursues the persistence of this racial wealth gap by focusing on the generators of wealth in the black community: black banks. Studying these institutions over time, Mehrsa Baradaran challenges the myth that black communities could ever accumulate wealth in a segregated economy. Instead, housing segregation, racism, and Jim Crow credit policies created an inescapable, but hard to detect, economic trap for black communities and their banks. The Catch-22 of black banking is that the very institutions needed to help communities escape the deep poverty caused by discrimination and segregation inevitably became victims of that same poverty. Not only could black banks not "control the black dollar" due to the dynamics of bank depositing and lending but they drained black capital into white banks, leaving the black economy with the scraps. Baradaran challenges the long-standing notion that black banking and community self-help is the solution to the racial wealth gap. These initiatives have functioned as a potent political decoy to avoid more fundamental reforms and racial redress. Examining the fruits of past policies and the operation of banking in a segregated economy, she makes clear that only bolder, more realistic views of banking's relation to black communities will end the cycle of poverty and promote black wealth."--Jacket. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed October 6, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 African Americans|xEconomic conditions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001945 650 0 African American banks|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001802|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Discrimination in banking|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94008024|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 African Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85001932|xFinance.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002007885 650 0 Wealth|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008113411|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 African Americans|xEconomic conditions.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799599 650 7 African American banks.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/799039 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Discrimination in banking.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/895026 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Finance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/924349 650 7 Wealth.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1172973 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|tThe color of money :|bBlack banks and the racial wealth gap|dCambridge, Massachusetts : The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2017 |z9780674970953 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1611132|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
