"Segregation Made Them Neighbors investigates the relationship between whiteness and
nonwhiteness through the lenses of landscapes and material culture. William A. White
III uses data collected from a public archaeology and digital humanities project conducted
in the River Street neighborhood in Boise, Idaho, to investigate the mechanisms used
to divide local populations into racial categories. The River Street Neighborhood
was a multiracial, multiethnic enclave in Boise that was inhabited by African American,
European American, and Basque residents. Building on theoretical concepts from whiteness
studies and critical race theory, this volume also explores the ways Boise's residents
crafted segregated landscapes between the 1890s and 1960s to establish white and nonwhite
geographies. White describes how housing, urban infrastructure, ethnicity, race, and
employment served to delineate the River Street neighborhood into a nonwhite space,
an activity that resulted in larger repercussions for other Boiseans. Using material
culture excavated from the neighborhood, White describes how residents used mass produced
products to assert their humanity and subvert racial memes. By describing the effects
of racial discrimination, real-estate redlining, and urban renewal on the preservation
of historic properties in the River Street neighborhood, Segregation Made Them Neighbors
illustrates the symbiotic mechanisms that also prevent equity and representation through
historic preservation in other cities in the American West"
