In response to the riots of the mid-'60s, Walter Thabit was
hired to work with the community of East New York to develop a plan
for low- and moderate-income public housing. In the years that
followed, he experienced first-hand the forces that had engineered
East New York's dramatic decline and that continued to work against
its successful revitalization. How East New York Became a Ghetto
describes the shift of East New York from a working-class immigrant
neighborhood to a largely black and Puerto Rican neighborhood and
shows how the resulting racially biased policies caused the
deterioration of this once flourishing area.
A clear-sighted, unflinching look at one ghetto community, How
East New York Became a Ghetto provides insights and observations on
the histories and fates of ghettos throughout the United
States.
