The Black Metropolis in the Twenty-First Century: Race, Power, and Politics of Place: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Black Metropolis in the Twenty-First Century: Race, Power, and Politics of Place" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book brings together key essays that seek to make visible and expand our understanding of the role of government (policies, programs, and investments) in shaping cities and metropolitan regions; the costs and consequences of uneven urban and regional growth patterns; suburban sprawl and public health, transportation, and economic development; and the enduring connection of place, space, and race in the era of increased globalization. Whether intended or unintended, many government policies (housing, transportation, land use, environmental, economic development, education, etc.) have aided and in some cases subsidized suburban sprawl, job flight, and spatial mismatch; concentrated urban poverty; and heightened racial and economic disparities. Written mostly by African American scholars, the book captures the dynamism of these meetings, describing the challenges facing cities, suburbs, and metropolitan regions as they seek to address continuing and emerging patterns of racial polarization in the twenty-first century. The book clearly shows that the United States entered the new millennium as one of the wealthiest and the most powerful nations on earth. Yet amid this prosperity, our nation is faced with some of the same challenges that confronted it at the beginning of the twentieth century, including rising inequality in income, wealth, and opportunity; economic restructuring; immigration pressures and ethnic tension; and a widening gap between haves and have-nots. Clearly, race matters. Place also matters. Where we live impacts the quality of our lives and chances for the good life.

Acknowledgments

There are a number of persons and organizations we wish to thank for making this book possible. We are especially grateful to Carl Anthony of the Ford Foundation, which provided financial support for the Environmental Justice Resource Centers race, smart growth, and regional equity work. A hearty thanks is extended to Deeohn Ferris, executive director of Global Environmental Resources, Inc., who assisted in organizing the hectic schedules of some extremely busy people, numerous conference calls, and face-to-face meetings of the African American Forum on Race and Regionalism (AAFRR).

I want to thank my staff at the Environmental Justice Resource Center, Lisa Sutton, and Michele Dawkins, for their assistance in organizing the authors /scholars roundtable and making sure the authors received their honoraria in a reasonable time. Thanks go out to my colleagues Glenn S. Johnson and Angel O. Torres, who read the manuscript and assisted in editing. I am also grateful for the contributions of my colleagues from across the country who took time out of their busy schedules to participate in the meetings, prepare and present their papers, and endure the constant nagging about deadlines. Finally, our hats go off to Alan McClare at Rowman & Littlefield for his patience and hard work in bringing this project to completion.
