Description
This presentation explores the braided history of popular sovereignty and property rights to revise fundamentally how we think about residential segregation and the durability of Jim Crow's political culture.
Connolly asserts that modern liberalism, suburbanization, and multiculturalism all find shared roots in the "common sense" of segregationist governance. And, he maintains, any effort to finally turn the page on white supremacy in America must grapple with the economic and cultural benefits Jim Crow-era city-building put (and kept) in place.
