Book Description
Examines the role violence plays in maintaining housing segregation Despite increasing racial tolerance and national diversity, neighborhood segregation remains a very real problem in cities across America. Scholars, government officials, and the general public have long attempted to understand why segregation persists despite efforts to combat it, traditionally focusing on the issue of “white flight,” or the idea that white residents will move to other areas if their neighborhood becomes integrated. In Hate Thy Neighbor, Jeannine Bell expands upon these understandings by investigating a little-examined but surprisingly prevalent problem of “move-in violence:” the anti-integration violence directed by white residents at minorities who move into their neighborhoods. Apprehensive about their new neighbors and worried about declining property values, these residents resort to extra-legal violence and intimidation tactics, often using vandalism and verbal harassment to combat what they view as a violation of their territory. Hate Thy Neighbor is the first work to seriously examine the role violence plays in maintaining housing segregation, illustrating how intimidation and fear are employed to force minorities back into separate neighborhoods and prevent meaningful integration. Drawing on evidence that includes in-depth interviews with ordinary citizens and analysis of Fair Housing Act cases, Bell provides a moving examination of how neighborhood racial violence is enabled today and how it harms not only the victims, but entire communities. By finally shedding light on this disturbing phenomenon, Hate Thy Neighbor not only enhances our understanding of how prevalent segregation and this type of hate-crime remain, but also offers insightful analysis of a complex mix of remedies that can work to address this difficult problem.

Book Description
Two friends—one white and one Cheyenne—must choose sides as frontier tensions built to the Battle of Little Bighorn in this historical Western. Young Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves became blood brothers on the day the rancher’s son saved the Native American boy’s life. Beneath the Montana sky, Matt learned the ways of the Cheyenne from his friend. And as years passed, a legend grew of the Indian and the white man who rode together—and who could draw killing iron with the best of them . . . Now tensions are high in the territory thanks to Lone Dog and his renegades scalping settlers by the dozen. Meanwhile, greedy rancher Tom Thomas is recruiting an army of gunhawks to steal Indian land. And with General Custer and his men riding toward the Little Big Horn River, it seems Bodine and Two Wolves will have to choose sides. Because there will only be two kinds of folk in the battle that’s brewing: the kind that kill and the kind that die.
