Black Detroit: A People's History of Self-Determination by Herb Boyd

4.0

Interesting and very thorough history of Detroit, which is defined by its Black residents. The book is strictly chronological, so the chapters vary widely by topic, jumping from music and theatre, to manufacturing, to politics and more. I found this structure harder to follow and wished that the chapters arranged by topic. All in all a critical history to one of the country's most resilient and unique cities.
