An examination of the dilemmas of integrating America's suburbs

Reviews

"[Keating] chronicles efforts to break down suburban racial barriers in housing throughout the United States... Keating's data also point up our urgent need to focus public policy on depopulated and increasingly impoverished and homogeneous urban centers. As he convincingly demonstrates, private and government attempts at suburban integration, as well as special urban integrationist projects, have achieved spotty results at best." --Publishers Weekly
