Momeni pulls together 1,007 citations to articles and monographs on housing for minorities. Instead of brief annotations, he includes an abstract or summary of each title, sometimes written by the original author. The descriptions are long enough to allow the reader to appraise the title. Entries are classed by broad topic--e.g., discrimination and redlining, segregation, desegregation, rentals, ownership and home value, subsidies, public housing, regulations and the courts, elderly housing, homelessness. There are author and subject indexes. Particularly valuable is a 15-page analysis of data from the 1980 census in which Momeni studies differences in housing occupied by minorities. If affords students and librarians a readable overview of the minority housing picture in 1980; no similar bibliography incorporates data from this census. The foreword and preface, written by two experts in the field, add commentary on the subject. Recommended for academic and research libraries supporting sociology and urban studies. Choice The proliferation of research on minority housing in the past decade has created the need for a comprehensive bibliography that will provide a synthesis of knowledge on the subject and bring together the results of many widely dispersed studies and documents. This outstanding reference work chronicles the historical patterns of change in minority housing conditions, and paves the way to a greater understanding of the complexities of the market dynamics of minority housing over the past two decades. Containing more than one thousand entries, this expansive volume summarizes the latest research literature covering such topics as redlining, fair housing, the impact of various housing initiatives, the problems of the elderly, and the homeless.
