Sinopsis
Randy Stoecker's intimate biography of
Cedar-Riverside, nationally known for a period
as the Haight-Ashbury of the Mid-West, contains
important lessons about the conflicts between
the needs of capitalism and the needs of
community. While attending graduate school at the
University of Minnesota, the author moved to
Cedar-Riverside, a Minneapolis neighborhood
known for its determination to enact values of
peace, justice, wholeness, participation, and
community in its truest sense. There he
experienced first-hand the clashes between
a radical community and state-backed urban
developers. His narrative tells the story of a
community that overcame the odds against its own
survival. Slated for total demolition, the
neighborhood was saved by a powerful grass-roots
movement. Citizens stopped a state- capital
coalition from entombing the community in
concrete and went on to create one of the
largest community controlled urban redevelopment
projects in the country After more than twenty
years of struggle, Cedar-Riverside continues to
experience citizen-controlled urban
redevelopment on its own terms, setting an
example for other communities, urban planners,
and policymakers. University of Toledo.
