The legacy of explicitly racist housing policies and lack of access to

heirs’ property doesn’t just affect rural Black Americans. It is found all
over the US, particularly in areas historically excluded from the legal
system. Outside the Black Belt, heirs’ property is frequently clustered in
settlements along the US-Mexico border, tribal lands, and in Appalachia –

alienation to two groups of workers–IT workers and academics. His book
