Beschreibung:
"Andrew Diamond's wide-ranging and significant book movingly tells the history of Chicago, how it has become a tale of two cities, from the shimmering and branded opulence of the Loop to the poverty-filled and underserved streets of the South Side. And this isn't, as Diamond makes clear, a matter of chance or culture, but of deliberate and long-standing policy decisions. This is an honest and truthful book for this difficult moment in history."--Bryant Simon, author of Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America
