From Prof. Atuahene:

"I have been living in Detroit for eight years, researching the city's property tax foreclosure crisis, which has resulted in the government confiscating one in three homes since 2009: the greatest number of property tax foreclosures in American history since the Great Depression. Plundered reveals the core problem is a system of predatory governance, where public officials raise public dollars through racist policies, a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit."
