"This is a book that all urbanists and students of urban administration will value for its clarity and judiciousness. It offers a clear assessment of what neighborhood organizations can and do provide for citizens, governmental officials, and the public interest. It encapsulates the past generation of urban experience with neighborhood organizations in a way that goes far beyond a simple description of the Cincinnati experience."—Jon Van Til, author of Living with Energy Shortfall: A Future for American Cities and Towns
"The best book on neighborhood organizations to appear in recent years. Thomas offers fresh insights into the viability of neighborhood organizations as effective partners in local decision making, and thereby poses a counterpoint argument to much recent literature in the field. The book is thoroughly researched, well written, and effectively argued. It will set the standard for future studies of neighborhood organizations as political forces in the American urban community."—Richard L. Cole, coauthor of Citizen Participation and the Urban Policy Process
"Rich in theoretical insights and well grounded in specifics of the place being studied. It will be read and cited."—Andrew Glassberg, author of Representation and Urban Community
Author Biography: John Clayton Thomas is associate professor of public administration in the L. P. Cookingham Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Between Citizen and City
Very interesting book, especially if you are a St. Louisan. It is basically a history of the city through the lens of the veiled prophet celebration. Even though I grew up in the St. Louis I never knew about the Veiled Prophet organization that to this day exists and puts on the Fair St. Louis on the 4th of July each year. The writer starts from the beginning and shows how the Veiled Prophet Parade and Ball were originally created as a demonstration of power by the upper class after the breaking of the Railroad strike in 1877. It changed a lot over the years, and is less explicitly elitist today, but still is basically a party for the rich and powerful people in St. Louis. The writing is average, but it is a fairly easy read. For people interested in the topic it is worth checking out.
