Throughout the twentieth century, African Americans acquired substantial amounts of property nationwide. But racist practices, obscure processes, and outright theft diminished their holdings and their power. In his new book, The Black Tax: 150 Years of Theft, Exploitation and Dispossession in America, Andrew Kharl reveals the shocking history and ruinous consequences of the inequitable and predatory tax laws that resulted in widespread and devastating racial dispossession. The story of America’s now enormous concentration of wealth at the top—and the equally enormous absence of wealth among most Black households has its roots here.
Andrew Kahrl is a professor of History and African American Studies. He specializes in the history of race and inequality in the twentieth-century US, with a focus on housing and real estate, land use and ownership, and local tax systems. His research and writing appears regularly in media outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, and Boston Review. Kahrl teaches courses on the history of race and real estate in the US, local politics in America, US urban history, Black landownership, and African American history since 1865.
