The Suburban Racial Dilemma by W Keating

An examination of the dilemmas of integrating America's suburbs
"[Keating] chronicles efforts to break down suburban racial barriers in housing throughout the United States... Keating's data also point up our urgent need to focus public policy on depopulated and increasingly impoverished and homogeneous urban centers. As he convincingly demonstrates, private and government attempts at suburban integration, as well as special urban integrationist projects, have achieved spotty results at best."
Publishers Weekly

"With case studies of local governments and nonprofits striving to lead the examined life and shape a robust, racially inclusive destiny, Keating illuminates the issues of race and residence. Anyone who is concerned about understanding these issues will benefit from reading his book."
