Struggle for the City recovers the agency and solidarity of African American residents confronting this diagnosis of "blight" in northern cities in the 1950s and 1960s.Examining Black newspapers, archival documents from Black organizations, and oral histories of community advocates, Derek G. Handley shows how African American residents in three communities-the Hill district of Pittsburgh, the Bronzeville neighborhood of Milwaukee, and the Rondo district of St. Paul-enacted a new form of citizenship to fight for their neighborhoods.
