      abstract = {In response to the riots of the mid-'60s, Walter Thabit  was hired to work with the community of East New York to  develop a plan for low- and moderate-income public housing.  In the years that followed, he experienced first-hand the  forces that had engineered East New York's dramatic decline  and that continued to work against its successful  revitalization. How East New York Became a Ghetto describes  the shift of East New York from a working-class immigrant  neighborhood to a largely black and Puerto Rican  neighborhood and shows how the resulting racially biased  policies caused the deterioration of this once flourishing  area.A clear-sighted, unflinching look at one ghetto  community, How East New York Became a Ghetto provides  insights and observations on the histories and fates of  ghettos throughout the United States.},
