Summary: Well-researched, fascinating view of SE Mich
Comment: Detroit Divided covers many issues well-known to residents of SE Michigan - issues such as racism, the labor market, housing, transportation, etc., always coming back to the question of what factors influence the segregation of the city and its suburbs.
It was published in 2000, and is still quite up-to date, but there is no mention of the influence of recent changes in Detroit's downtown, such as GM, sports stadiums, casinos, and current revitalization projects.
What I really liked about this book was the survey data from the census, and from surveys done by residents in the inner city and the suburbs. I liked finding out about what "We as Detroiters" had to say about these issues, and I found myself agreeing with a lot of the findings because I see them on a daily basis. It is nice to have numbers to back up what are vague mental pictures of what the situation involves.
I learned quite a bit about the area, things I didn't know about our history and about the present. Professionals in urban issues will certainly use this book, but I would also recommend it to the general public and especially to residents in Detroit and SE Mich.
