Thirty-five years after this landmark of urban history first
captured the rise, fall, and rebirth of a once-thriving New York
City borough-ravaged in the 1970s and '80s by disinvestment and
fires, then heroically revived and rebuilt in the 1990s by
community activists-Jill Jonnes returns to chronicle the ongoing
revival of the South Bronx. Though now globally renowned as the
birthplace of hip-hop, the South Bronx remains America's poorest
urban congressional district. In this new edition, we meet the
present generation of activists who are transforming their
communities with the arts and greening, notably the restoration of
the Bronx River. For better or worse, real estate investors have
noticed, setting off new gentrification struggles.
