Despite the commonly held perception that most northern citizens embraced racial equality, As Long As They Don't Move Next Door graphically demonstrates the variety of methods -- including violence and intimidation, unjust laws, restrictive covenants, discrimination by realtors and mortgage lenders, and white flight to suburban enclaves -- used by whites to thwart the racial integrationof their neighborhoods. Author Stephen Meyer offers the first full length history of American race relations examined through the lens of housing discrimination, and he forces readers to confront andre-evaluate the deep and enduring division between the races.
