The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit - Updated Edition by Thomas J. Sugrue
4.0
Sometimes the most telling thing is what they didn't teach you in school.
Sugrue clearly did his homework researching this book, and makes a compelling argument for how many of the issues plaguing Detroit (and other American cities) have their roots in deindustrialization, and -- perhaps moreso -- in workplace and housing discrimination that effectively wiped out opportunities for minorities.
