Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Randy Stoecker's intimate biography of CedarRiverside, nationally known for a period as the HaightAshbury of the MidWest, contains important lessons about the conflicts between the needs of capitalism and the needs of community. While attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, the author moved to CedarRiverside, a Minneapolis neighborhood known for its determination to enact values of peace, justice, wholeness, participation, and community in its truest sense. There he experienced firsthand the clashes between a radical community and statebacked urban developers. His narrative tells the story of a community that overcame the odds against its own survival. Slated for total demolition, the neighborhood was saved by a powerful grassroots movement. Citizens stopped a statecapital coalition from entombing the community in concrete and went on to create one of the largest community controlled urban redevelopment projects in the country After more than twenty years of struggle, CedarRiverside continues to experience citizencontrolled urban redevelopment on its own terms, setting an example for other communities, urban planners, and policymakers.
