520 Many people characterize urban renewal projects and the
power of eminent domain as two of the most widely despised
and often racist tools for reshaping American cities in
the postwar period. In A World More Concrete, N.D.B.
Connolly uses the history of South Florida to unearth an
older and far more complex story. Connolly captures nearly
eighty years of political and land transactions to reveal
how real estate and redevelopment created and preserved
metropolitan growth and racial peace under white
supremacy. Using a materialist approach, he offers a long
view of capitalism and the color line, following much of
the money that made land taking and Jim Crow segregation
profitable and preferred approaches to governing cities
throughout the twentieth century. A World More Concrete
argues that black and white landlords, entrepreneurs, and
even liberal community leaders used tenements and repeated
land dispossession to take advantage of the poor and
generate remarkable wealth. Through a political culture
built on real estate, South Florida landlords and
homeowners advanced property rights and white property
rights, especially, at the expense of more inclusive
visions of equality. For black people and many of their
white allies, uses of eminent domain helped to harden
class and color lines. Yet, for many reformers,
confiscating certain kinds of real estate through eminent
domain also promised to help improve housing conditions,
to undermine the neighborhood influence of powerful
slumlords, and to open new opportunities for suburban life
for black Floridians. Concerned more with winners and
losers than with heroes and villains, A World More
Concrete offers a sober assessment of money and power in
Jim Crow America. It shows how negotiations between
powerful real estate interests on both sides of the color
line gave racial segregation a remarkable capacity to
evolve, revealing property owners power to reshape
American cities in ways that can still be seen and felt
today.
