New Orleans After the Promises

Poverty, Citizenship, and the Search for the Great Society

Beschreibung

In the 1960s and 1970s, New Orleans experienced one of the greatest transformations in its history. This book looks back at that era to explore how a few thousand locals tried to bring the Great Society to Dixie. It offers a detailed portrait of the complex city that developed after its last epic reconstruction.
