Description: "Scott Kurashige's wonderful, important book teaches us to read neoliberal crisis and austerity from below, as a reaction to forces of liberation that came before and continue today."--Michael Hardt, coauthor of Assembly
"I believe Scott Kurashige's work will introduce a new generation of scholars, activists, intellectuals, artists, and citizens to what many of us have said for a while--the story of the 20th and 21st centuries is the story of Detroit."--Lester K. Spence, Associate Professor of Political Science and Africana Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and author of Knocking the Hustle: Against the Neoliberal Turn in Black PoliticsReview Quotes: "Kurashige sees in Detroit a microcosm of the political ills which he believes afflict the United States more broadly. Starting with the rioting of 1967, he presents a history of the policies that he believes have disen- franchised, impoverished and repressed Detroit's black and working-class citizens, as well as their acts of resistance."-- "Survival: Global Politics and Strategy" (7/18/2018 12:00:00 AM)
