Highly recommended for Polysci & Urban Studies reading lists

Expertly edited by Michael Jones-Correa (associate professor of government, Cornell University), Governing American Cities: Inter-ethnic Coalitions, Competition, And Conflict is an anthology of essays by eminent sociologists and problem-solvers examining the reality of both positive and negative interactions between ethnic groups within America's cities. From the control Cuban-Americans have over Miami to internal divisions within New York's Chinatown, examples across the board are carefully studied in this scholarly analysis that focuses on improving quality of city life for Americans of all ethnic heritages. Governing American Cities is a very highly recommended addition to Political Science and Urban Studies reading lists and reference collections.
