Inside Urban Politics covers social, economic, political, and governmental conditions of our cities and suburbs today and the proposals to change, reform, and improve them.
This anthology is unique to the market as its emphasis is on first-hand accounts—speeches by politicians, newspaper stories, editorials by journalists, interviews with political activists, memoirs and biographies of famous people, and research reports advocating change. The use of primary sources to depict urban politics is an attempt to bring to the students voices of passion, insight, and conflict, and engage them in improving their own cities and suburbs.
