1. 1. Born In Flames

   The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City

   

   Born in Flames examines a 1970s wave of arson that devastated low-income neighborhoods, arguing many fires were set by landlords pursuing insurance payouts enabled by discriminatory “brownlining” practices. Spanning the Bronx to Britain and Brazil, the book traces the financial and policy forces behind the burnings and shows how residents organized to resist, helping spark the modern tenant movement for housing justice.
