内容简介
This book offers an insider's view of how race and politics impact upon the distribution of city services and how the promises of elected Afro-Carribeans and liberal Councillors from poor communities are often broken. The author, who is a noted expert in urban studies, charts in Race, Politics and Community Development Funding the distribution of public funds designated to alleviate urban poverty and blight at the local level. Using a variety of research methods, the author shows that the key players (mayors, councillors, public officials) often contribute to the misuse of funds. The book has helpful charts, tables and graphs that illustrate the flow of public finance.
