Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Kurashige sees in Detroit a microcosm of the political ills which he believes afflict the United States more broadly. Starting with the rioting of 1967, he presents a history of the policies that he believes have disen- franchised, impoverished and repressed Detroit’s black and working-class citizens, as well as their acts of resistance." * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *
"Kurashige’s purpose is advocacy as much as exposition, but he presents compelling details on what led up to, and what followed, Detroit’s bankruptcy,including the forms of state administration that were imposed on the city, a story barely covered by the national press." * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *
