Beskrivning
Turmoil and Transition in Boston tells the personal and political story of Larry DiCara, the youngest person ever elected to the Boston City Council. DiCara’s story is intimately woven into the fate of his hometown of Boston. Then a federal court order mandating busing to achieve racial integration in the public schools ripped apart his city. DiCara shows how public policy decisions and economic and demographic changes from that time transformed Boston into one of America’s most diverse, affluent, and successful cities in the twenty-first century.

Recensioner i media
For anyone who is interested in Boston and its politics—and who isn't—this is a must read book. Larry DiCara was not only a close observer of the Boston scene at a time when the city struggled to transform itself into the extraordinary place that it has now become; he played a major role in getting us there. And yet he writes with a remarkable degree of objectivity for one so deeply involved.
