American Project: The Rise and Fall of a Modern Ghetto
Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh
High-rise public housing was a signature of the post–World War II city. A hopeful experiment in providing temporary, inexpensive homes for all Americans, the “projects“ soon became synonymous with the black urban poor, isolation and overcrowding, drugs, gang violence, and neglect. Here, Venkatesh seeks to salvage public housing’s troubled legacy.
