American historian
Richard Rothstein is an American academic and author affiliated with the
Economic Policy Institute, and a senior fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
[1]
[2] His current research focuses on the history of
segregation in the
United States with regards to
education and
housing.
Career
From 1999 until 2002, Rothstein was the national education columnist for
The New York Times.
[3] and had been a senior fellow at the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy at the law school of the
University of California, Berkeley until it closed in 2015. Rothstein was then affiliated with the
Haas Institute at the
University of California, Berkeley
School of Law.
[4]
His 2017 book,
The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, argues that
racial housing segregation is the result of government policy at all levels—federal, state, and local. Rothstein disagreed with the prevailing view affirmed by
Supreme Court in the 1973 decision
Miliken v. Bradley and a subsequent 2007 decision: that housing segregation is primarily the result of private racism and decisions.
[5] A review in
The New York Times said that there was "no better history" of housing segregation, while Rachel Cohen of
Slate called The Color of Law "essential."
