The book tells the story of Paradise Valley, Black Bottom and lower East Side communities; how they came to be; and the forces that caused their demise: systemic racism, desegregation, freeway construction and suburban sprawl. The story is told—in part—through personality profiles of 21 Detroit residents—all of whom are African-American.
