Description

This work offers a political and historical analysis of Newark’s brand new politics since 1950, culminating with Mayor Cory Booker’s rise to power and prominence both in the city and in American political consciousness. Newark’s latest political history offers a captivating case study in mayoral elections, community development, and coalition building politics. Even as Newark is the quintessential post-industrial city, Booker has received critical attention for his post-racial politics since he continuously bypasses racial and traditional urban politics. At the same time, relations between the mayor, the municipal council, and Newark’s diverse communities were ceaselessly so fractious that sustainable coalition building proved to be an elusive goal to unravel longstanding crime, education, and other social problems. According to original interviews with Cory Booker, city council members, and other prominent Newark politicians, A Post Racial Change is Gonna Come is a powerful history of how Newark became the focus for transformative politics in urban The united states.
