- Summary
- Left Behind in Rosedale is a stunning analysis of community and neighborhood decline. Through creative application of ethnographic analysis, participant observation, and in-depth interviews, Scott Cummings's book breathes human life into one of the most serious problems facing the nation's cities: the ghettoization of urban neighborhoods.
- Transcending demographic and statistical analysis, he tells the story of ghettoization by explaining what happens to people's lives during the process of racial transition and change.
