"Provocative . . . anyone . . . who wants to fathom the social calamity that is recent Detroit history, and what that may portend for other cities, will have to come to this book." --The Washington Post
"Mr. Chafets captures the feel of the city: his vignettes are as entertaining as the little grace notes of a fine gospel song. . . . And he captures the sense of a bellwether black community in charge, on the edge of change, trying to reconstruct a city on the ropes." --The New York Times Book ReviewZe'ev Chafets is the author of eight works of nonfiction and four novels. He was born in Pontiac, Michigan, and now lives in New York City.
