Wright, “NAACP and Residential Segregation.” See also Grossman, Land of Hope; and Sides, L.A. City Limits. On the role of housing inequality in urban riots and civil disturbances , see, for example, Tuttle, Race Riot. The Atlanta riot did cause a backlash against  Notes to Introduction blacks, but in the form of social reform, segregated streetcars, and restriction of voting rights. “Reformers” targeted saloons and brothels, and housing “reform” was not proposed .

My definition of a landscape way of seeing is informed by various works exploring cultural landscapes, including Cosgrove, Social Formation and Symbolic Landscape; Duncan , City as Text; Duncan and Duncan, Landscapes of Privilege. While most geographers use the phrase “landscape way of seeing” to discuss larger, natural environments and social systems, I find the concept appropriate for explaining how civic elites began to look at, shape, and/or appropriate residential landscapes and neighborhoods. . Federal interest in homeownership dates to the early formation of the United States, when Thomas Jefferson articulated a desire for a country of independent yeomen.
