On my initiative, not any request, here's a new post of possible interest, headlined Getting A Read On Detroit.
What books would you recommend to someone who was trying to get a grasp on Detroit, both as it was and as it is now? What books do you think help sum up who we are, how we got this way and where we're headed?
Blogger Darrell Dawsey kicks it off with a dozen of his picks, including 2 by Thomas Sugrue and must-reads by Carl Taylor, Kevin Boyle, James Boggs, Donald Goines, Zev Chafets, Gavrilovich/McGraw and even Butch Jones.

Reader 'cxiro' adds the obvious classic by W. Hawkins Ferry.

No doubt there's room for DY forumers to jump in . . .
