Annual Book Read Discussion , 2nd Choice

Because the vote was SO CLOSE, we decided to have a 2nd book read section this year! THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE TOWN chronicles four US cities in a sweeping and eye-opening study of wealth inequality and the dismantling of local government. Urban law expert and author Michelle Wilde Anderson offers unsparing, humanistic portraits of the hardships left behind in four such places. Anderson travels to four blue-collar communities with deep poverty and gutted public services, and yet are progressing - one of them is Detroit. In focusing on Americans who have committed heart and soul to their communities, Anderson weaves an ultimately hopeful story and delivers a blueprint for reform. This book will definitely leave us inspired!
