Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Winner, 2021 CCL J. B. Jackson Book PrizeMotor City Green is a history of green spaces in metropolitan Detroit from the late nineteenth to early twentyfirst century. The book focuses primarily on the history of gardens and parks in the city of Detroit and its suburbs in southeast Michigan. Cialdella argues Detroit residents used green space to address problems created by the citys industrial rise and decline, and racial segregation and economic inequality. As the citys social landscape became increasingly uncontrollable, Detroiters turned to parks, gardens, yards, and other outdoor spaces to relieve the negative social and environmental consequences of industrial capitalism. Motor City Green looks to the past to demonstrate how todays urban gardens in Detroit evolved from, but are also distinct from, other urban gardens and green spaces in the citys past.
