Trade Review
"Taken together, the essays in this volume are transformative - and excellent across the board. They collectively propel the historiography of the postwar era in profitable directions. They push against the most staid boundaries of urban history, they break out of the black-white binary that ensnares so much of African American history, and they juxtapose different objects of study in a way that establishes this book as a wonderfully realized interdisciplinary examination of the past." - Jonathan Holloway, Yale University"
