"This text balances historical and archival research with interviews and fieldwork in its exploration of three New Bedford neighborhoods. These multiple forms of data enrich the work, offering a comprehensive analysis of the factors that lead to decline and those that helped manage it. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals." (T. N. Allen, Choice, Vol. 56 (04), December, 2018)mehr
