In this detailed history of relations between blacks and whites in
the post-civil rights era, journalist Tamar Jacoby looks at how the
ideal of integration has fared since it was first advocated by
Martin Luther King, Jr., arguing that though blacks have made
enormous economic, political, and social progress, a true sense of
community has remained elusive. Her story leads us through the
volatile world of New York in the 1960s, the center of liberal
idealism about race; Detroit in the 1970s, under its first black
mayor, Coleman Young; and Atlanta in the 1980s and '90s, ruled by a
coalition of white businessmen and black politicians. Based on
extensive research and local reporting, her vivid, dramatic account
evokes the special flavor of each city and decade, and gives voice
to a host of ordinary individuals struggling to translate a vision
into a reality.
