Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America

A new book by former Chicago-Kent College of Law professor Bernadette Atuahene, Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America will be released on Jan. 28, 2025. But, you can pre-order the book TODAY.

Atuahene has been living in Detroit for eight years, researching the city's property tax foreclosure crisis, which has resulted in the local government confiscating one in three homes since 2009: the greatest number of property tax foreclosures in American history since the Great Depression. In the book, she explains that this injustice occurred due to predatory governance--a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit.
