About this title

Synopsis

Detroit's racial, religious, and economic problems through the experiences of black intellectuals, police officers, Muslim and Christian clerics, middle-class suburban whites, and Mayor Coleman Young

Review

"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 Review
