Sommario/riassunto |
|
Through much of the twentieth century, black Seattle was synonymous with the Central District--a four-square-mile section near the geographic center of the city. Quintard Taylor explores the evolution of this community from its first few residents in the 1870s to a population of nearly forty thousand in 1970. With events such as the massive influx of rural African Americans beginning with World War II and the transformation of African American community leadership in the 1960s from an integrationist to a "black power" stance, Seattle both anticipates and mirrors national trends. Thus, the book addresses not only a particular city in the Pacific Northwest but also the process of political change in black America. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pearson-Nelson looks at the homicide epidemic of the late 1980s and early 1990s. His approach draws on epidemiological and sociological perspectives focused on the factors, positive and negative, related to the spread of the epidemic through urban areas. Key questions include: why did some cities experience the epidemic, while others did not? What variables affected the intensity and duration of the epidemic within cities? Pearson-Nelson finds that population density is the single most important variable. A measure of cocaine availability significantly affected the absolute magnitude of the epidemic; however, the findings indicate that greater cocaine availability actually reduced the magnitude of the epidemic. |
