This article examines the repositioning of racialized credit risk produced by new regulatory practices that have emerged in the neoliberal era. As increasingly volatile financial markets have periodically threatened the ability of the banking sector to supply credit, US regulators have adopted more aggressive roles to isolate 'troubled assets' and restore the norms of risk management. Revisiting the emergence of the US subprime mortgage market in the early 1990s, I use this framework to assess a critical question for urban political economy: how could decades of racial exclusion from US credit markets have been transformed so quickly and decisively into the exploitation of minority borrowers within the subprime market? The article identifies a series of regulatory practices associated with the management of the late-1980s banking crisis, arguing their distinctive orientation towards the circulation of risk created a new legal and market space for high-risk loans. I then examine the migration of those emergency risk practices into the institutional venues that shaped the subprime market and that differentially exposed minority borrowers to heightened rent-seeking. The results suggest new avenues for urban political economy emerging from a broader conceptualization of state relationships to financial risk.RésuméDans la mouvance néolibérale, de nouvelles pratiques réglementaires ont entraîné le repositionnement du risque de crédit 'racialisé'. Aux États-Unis, la volatilité accrue des marchés financiers a régulièrement menacé la capacité du secteur bancaire à fournir du crédit. Les auteurs des réglementations se sont donc montrés plus agressifs, afin d'isoler les 'actifs toxiques' et de rétablir les normes de gestion des risques. Revenant sur la création du marché américain des prêts hypothécaires à haut risque (subprimes) au début des années 1990, cet article étudie une question essentielle pour l'économie politique urbaine: comment des décennies d'exclusion raciale des marchés du crédit aux États-Unis sont-elles passées si vite et si radicalement à une exploitation des membres des minorités empruntant sur le marché des subprimes? Ce travail identifie un ensemble de pratiques régulatrices liées à la gestion de la crise bancaire de la fin des années 1980, et soutient que leur orientation spécifique vers la circulation du risque a crééà la fois un nouvel espace juridique et un nouvel espace de marché pour les prêts à haut risque. Il analyse ensuite la migration de ces pratiques à risque exceptionnelles vers les sites institutionnels qui ont configuré le marché des subprimes et ont exposé les emprunteurs issus des minorités à un parasitisme plus intense. On peut en déduire de nouvelles possibilités pour l'économie politique urbaine à partir d'une conceptualisation élargie des rapports entre l'État et le risque financier
