It may not be a book full of answers but it does have research, context and ideas. If you are willing to learn about how other Americans live in this country than it is certainly worth picking up.

This book is a must-read for anyone living in one of America's cities (and highly recommended for everyone else). I live in a large East Coast city and am a member of the Nation. I, like most members of the Nation, live in proximity to the Colony. The difference between the two is staggering, and this book illuminates those differences. The story is bleak but not without hope for the future, for progress.

This better be good. I'm excited about reading it....
