Once known as "the Paris of the Midwest" and "America's Black Metropolis," Detroit has been in disrepair and decay for decades. 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.
Escape from Detroit: The Collapse of America's Black Metropolis is a biting history of how political corruption and racial strife took down one of America's most prestigious cities. Once a household name associated with American industrial might, Detroit has since become a symbol of American urban dysfunction. The election of Detroit's first Black mayor in 1973 acted as an accelerant for the accumulating incompetence, crime, and corruption-and the concomitant exodus of Whites from the crumbling city.
Originally published in 2012, Escape from Detroit has since fallen out of print due to deplatforming, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in this newly-edited edition.
