Description
During the “long hot summer” of 1967, racial violence erupted in one hundred and fifty-nine cities all across America. From Tampa to Texas, Birmingham to Boston, Newark and New York, Cleveland, Chicago, East St. Louis...city after city exploding in strife.
Detroit, the “Model City,” was thought to be safe.
It wasn’t.
An Intrinsic Dereliction traces the story of the racist racial unrest, turmoil and decay that has led Detroit, once the fourth largest city in America and the fastest growing city in the world, to an unparalleled state of urban blight, neglect and crime, a third world city in the midst of America, rotted to its core.
