Book desription: Boston, MA, U.S.A.: Northeastern University Press, 1993. Trade Paperback. Very Good. This book provides the first coherent historical narrative of Boston's modernization, focusing on the politicians who advocated extensive programs of urban renewal in the 1950s and 1960s, and those who opposed these plans as destructive of the community; it shows how the city's tranformation by a well-meaning reform movement also involved consequences that were unintended, often contradictory and sometimes tragic; includes photographs (pictorial cover with slight edgewear, a few small scuff marks on back, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
