In this lively yet sober anthology of forty-five articles, Paul Kersey tackles the hard truth of why the once great city no longer shines as a beacon of high civilization: above all, the change in its demographics from a majority-White city to a majority-Black one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEscape from Detroit: The Collapse of America's Black Metropolis \u003c\/em\u003eis a biting history of how political corruption and racial strife took down one of America's most prestigious cities.
