Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Shelter is a work of political philosophy that examines the core injustices of the contemporary U.S. housing crisis and its relation to enduring racial injustices. It investigates gentrification, segregation, desegregation, integration, and homelessness. Taking current conditions and the historical practices that led to them into account, Ronald Sundstrom argues that to achieve justice in social-spatial arrangements we must prioritize the crafting and enforcement of housing policy that corrects the injustices of the past. If we do not address the history of racism in housing policy, we will never solve today's housing crisis.
