Description: Detroit: Unbroken Down by Dave Jordano, Nancy Watson Barr, Dawoud Bey Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A powerful record of the hope and perseverance of those who have had to endure the hardship of living in post-industrial Detroit, a city that has fallen on the hardest of times. Publisher Description Dave Jordano returned to his hometown of Detroit to document the people who still live in what has become one of the countrys most economically challenging cities. Against a backdrop of mass abandonment through years of white flight, unemployment hovering at almost three times the national average, city services cut to the bone, a real estate collapse of massive proportions, and ultimately filing the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, Jordano searches for the hope and perseverance of those who have had to endure the hardship of living in a post-industrial city that has fallen on the hardest of times.From the lower Southeast Side where urban renewal and government programs slowly became the benchmark of civic failure, to the dwindling enclaves of neighborhoods like Delray and Poletown (onceblue-collar neighborhoods that have all but vanished),Jordano seeks to dispel the popular myth perpetrated through the media that Detroit is an empty wasteland devoid of people. He encounters resolute individuals determined to make this city a place to live,from a homeless man who decided to build his own one-room structure on an abandoned industrial lot because he was tired of sleeping on public benches, to a group of squatters who repurposed long-abandoned houses on a street called Goldengate. Jordano discovers and rebroadcastsa message of hope and endurance to an otherwise greatly misunderstood and misrepresented city.Detroit: Unbroken Downis not a document solely about whats been destroyed, but even more critically, about all that has been left behind and those who remain to cope with it.
