Meet The Author - White Space, Black Hood - Sheryll Cashin
Sheryll Cashin, a law professor, acclaimed author, former White House staffer and law clerk to Thurgood Marshall, has spent nearly three decades grappling with US residential segregation and resulting racial inequality. Her most recent book, White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality (2021) reflects these decades of examination and analysis. It explains American residential caste -- how government over-invests and excludes in affluent white spaces, and disinvests, contains, and preys on people in high poverty Black neighborhoods and propagates myths to justify our separate and unequal landscape. At the invitation of Chairwoman Maxine Waters, she will be testifying on residential exclusion and what to do about it on Friday, October 15, before a House Financial Services Subcommittee at 12 noon. A contributing editor to Politico Magazine, her key arguments for dismantling residential caste are summarized in her most recent "Big Idea" piece for the Magazine. She distills her case for abolition and repair in this four-minute promotional video. And she recently was featured in this CNN.com analysis of affluent, majority-white Buckhead seeking to secede from Atlanta.
The iconic Black hood, like slavery and Jim Crow, is a peculiar American institution animated by the ideology of white supremacy. Politicians and people of all colors propagated “ghetto” myths to justify racist policies that concentrated poverty in the hood and created high-opportunity white spaces. In White Space, Black Hood, Sheryll Cashin traces the history of anti-Black residential caste—boundary maintenance, opportunity hoarding, and stereotype-driven surveillance—and unpacks its current legacy so we can begin the work to dismantle the structures and policies that undermine Black lives.
Drawing on nearly 2 decades of research in cities including Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, and Cleveland, Cashin traces the processes of residential caste as it relates to housing, policing, schools, and transportation. She contends that geography is now central to American caste. Poverty-free havens and poverty-dense hoods would not exist if the state had not designed, constructed, and maintained this physical racial order.
Cashin calls for abolition of these state-sanctioned processes. The ultimate goal is to change the lens through which society sees residents of poor Black neighborhoods from presumed thug to presumed citizen, and to transform the relationship of the state with these neighborhoods from punitive to caring. She calls for investment in a new infrastructure of opportunity in poor Black neighborhoods, including richly resourced schools and neighborhood centers, public transit, Peacemaker Fellowships, universal basic incomes, housing choice vouchers for residents, and mandatory inclusive housing elsewhere.
Deeply researched and sharply written, White Space, Black Hood is a call to action for repairing what white supremacy still breaks.
Includes historical photos, maps, and charts that illuminate the history of residential segregation as an institution and a tactic of racial oppression.
