Not in My Neighborhood: How Bigotry Shaped a Great American City by Antero Pietila

3.0

Interesting topic but the author is prone to presenting unsupportable opinion as fact. Most notably after spending the entire book laying the groundwork of segregation in housing (white, Jewish and black are the partitions) in Baltimore, the author chooses to declare that from some magical point thereon the Jewish people lived together because they wanted to and not because of continuing prejudice. Similarly, the book described the first appointment of a woman to a prominent position as the absolute end of the old boys club. No facts, citations or other support to back either of these propositions.
