Summary	"In response to the riots of the mid-60s, Walter Thabit was hired to work with the community of East New York to develop a plan for low- and moderate-income housing. In the years that followed, he experienced firsthand the forces that had engineered East New York's dramatic decline and that continued to work against successful revitalization. How East New York Became a Ghetto describes the shift of East New York from a working-class immigrant neighborhood to a large black and Puerto Rican one, and shows how a series of racially biased policies caused the deterioration of this once-flourishing area." "A clear-sighted, unflinching look at one ghetto community, How East New York Became a Ghetto provides insights and observations on the histories and fates of ghettos throughout the United States."--Jacket.
