的封面 Lawrence S. DiCara: Turmoil and Transition in Boston (ePUB)

Turmoil and Transition in Boston tells the personal and political story of Larry Di Cara, the youngest person ever elected to the Boston City Council. Di Cara’s story is intimately woven into the fate of his hometown of Boston. As the federal court order mandating busing to achieve racial integration in the public schools ripped apart his city, he shows how public policy decisions and economic and demographic changes from that time transformed Boston into one of America’s most diverse, affluent, and successful cities in the 21st century.
