The focus in this paper should be to look at the discriminatory real estate transaction process “redlining” in the south and how it laid an infrastructure for failure for minorites in Mississippi. Covid- 19 saw these groups particularly struggle due to lack of access to healthcare, indispensable job opportunities AND ALMOST NO access to education. However, Covid just brought these problems to light they have been persistent since the civil rights era.
Specifically looking at Mississippi we want to argue that almost a hundred years of discriminatory practices have ravaged and stunted economic growth in minorites and the practices are responsible for the exasperated racial income gap. Not owning a home also led minorites to live in neighborhoods with less desirable education options, healthcare options and economic opportunity to advance. Therefore, Not only were minorites forced to live in redlined areas but also were given little options to succeed causing wealthier Individuals to widen the income gap.
look for particular events or controversies surrounding infrastructure that bring the key stakes to light (e.g. Hurricane Katrina and the levies in New Orleans, the Fukoshima nuclear disaster in Japan, the recent Suez Canal debacle, the Florida wastewater pond near-disaster). In addition to providing the necessary historical/cultural background information, your analysis should consider the materiality, sociality, and wider politics surrounding the infrastructure you are examining.
Be sure to frame your paper around an analytical argument and to aim to really unpack the deeper social and political import of infrastructural development and breakdown.
