Each of Siegel's three urban portraits--New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, -- shows the desperate remedies undertaken by cities searching for a lifeline back to the future whose promise they once seemed to embody. In a narrative that acknowledges the large historical forces that have remade the face of America over the last three decades, but insists that social policies are not merely foregone conclusions waiting to happen, Siegel holds up a mirror to our urban naure and tells us much about the way we live now.

New. 1893554104. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED--260 pages; clean and crisp, tight and bright pages, with no writing or markings to the text. --DESCRIPTION: Not just metropolises but also metaphors for American social life, New York, Washington D. C. And Los Angeles were once celebrated for their excitement and creativity as well as their ability to incorporate immigrants and solve the nation's problems. Caught up in the social policies born in the '60s and '70s, each faltered badly in dealing with the politics of race and the quality of their residents' lives in the '80s and '90s. Each of Siegel's three urban portraits shows the desperate remedies undertaken by cities searching for a lifeline back to the future whose promise they once seemed to embody. In a narrative that acknowledges the large historical forces that have remade the face of America over the last three decades, Siegel holds up a mirror to our urban nature and tells us much about the way we live now. --with a bonus offer--
