reviewed Urban Nightmares: The Media, The Right, And The Moral Panic Over The City on July 28, 2009 Urban Nightmares
Written by a friend of mine, who teaches out in Naperville, this is a great look at how the media has demonized cities and the (black) people who live there. One part intellectual history (great bibliography), one part summary of the fights over the issue in the 1980's and 1990's, and one part film critic, this is a great book that helps to understand the way things are today. Well written, quick read. For those of us who were organizing inthe 1990's but a little behind on the academic and public discourse part of it, this book is priceless.
