The place is an angry concentration of poor who are crowded into the interior of New York City's West Side, surrounded by affluent white Americans and locked into their despair by their color, joblessness, ill health, and lack of education. . . Lyford describes how and why this once agreeable part of the city became a place of torment for the poor and a zone of fear for so many" -- dust jacket. BAY 33.
