Book Synopsis Block by Block by : Amanda I. Seligman
Download or read book Block by Block written by Amanda I. Seligman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-05-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following World War II, cities across the United States saw an influx of African American families into otherwise homogeneously white areas. This racial transformation of urban neighborhoods led many whites to migrate to the suburbs, producing the phenomenon commonly known as white flight. In Block by Block, Amanda I. Seligman draws on the surprisingly understudied West Side communities of Chicago to shed new light on this story of postwar urban America. Seligman's study reveals that the responses of white West Siders to racial changes occurring in their neighborhoods were both multifaceted and extensive. She shows that, despite rehabilitation efforts, deterioration in these areas began long before the color of their inhabitants changed from white to black. And ultimately, the riots that erupted on Chicago's West Side and across the country in the mid-1960s stemmed not only from the tribulations specific to blacks in urban centers but also from the legacy of accumulated neglect after decades of white occupancy. Seligman's careful and evenhanded account will be essential to understanding that the "flight" of whites to the suburbs was the eventual result of a series of responses to transformations in Chicago's physical and social landscape, occurring one block at a time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After twenty years as a foreign correspondent in tumultuous locales, Judith Matloff is ready to return to her native New York City and start a family with her husband, John. Intoxicated by West Harlem’s cultural diversity and, more important, its affordability, Judith impulsively buys a stately fixer-upper brownstone in the neighborhood–only to discover that this dream house was once a crack den and that calling it a “fixer upper” is an understatement. Thus begins the couple’s odyssey to win over brazen drug dealers, delinquent construction workers, and eccentric neighbors in one of the biggest drug zones in the country. It’s a far cry from utopia, but it’s a start, and Judith and John do all they can to carve out a comfortable life–and, over time, come to appreciate the neighborhood’s rough charms. A wry, reflective, and hugely entertaining memoir, Home Girl is for anyone who has longed to go home, however complicated the journey.

Book excerpt: "We are truly in times of restoration. And, one aspect of restoration taking place in the House of God, is that of Honor. A culture of honor must function in the House of God for the Body of Christ to truly come to a place of maturation. Honor is an age-old principle practiced in many cultures and religions of the world. Yet, attached to these practices are legalism and false humility. When we discuss honor in the Kingdom, we will discover how this principle has many benefits for the one showing honor.Joseph honored his Father, and his family, which eventually brought him to a place of rulership. He even honored his master by refusing to sleep with his wife. Even though Joseph was a prisoner and falsely accused he showed honor to his imprisoners who made him in charge. We see God opened the door in the Spirit to Joseph, he begin to interpret dreams. He was able to interpret the dreams of the butler and the baker that eventually brought him into a place of rulership. Our rulership on the earth is determined by the ability to produce a culture of honor."

But when a powerful real estate developer makes an offer to buy Kensington Oaks, the neighborhood Wes has lived in his whole life, everything changes. The grown-ups are supposed to have all the answers, but all they’re doing is arguing. Even Wes’s best friends are fighting. And some of them may be moving. Wes isn’t about to give up the only home he’s ever known without a fight. He’s always been good at puzzles, and he knows there must be a missing piece that will solve this puzzle and save the Oaks. But can he find it before it’s too late? Chrystal D.
