ESSAY ON: Brownsville, Brooklyn

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page book review that argues that Wendell Pritchett's goal in his text Brownsville, Brooklyn: Blacks, Jews and the Changing Face of the Ghetto-- a community study of a section of Brooklyn, New York known as Brownsville --is to provide a complete sociological profile of this neighborhood. Pritchett begins in the late nineteenth century and carries the history of the neighborhood forward to the present, addressing significant events. The principal point of Pritchett's analysis is found in the relationship, over time, between the faculties of human agency and bureaucratic public policymaking, as the residents of Brownsville's ever-changing populace endeavored to construct a sustainable community in the face of governmental ineptitude and misconceived urban policies. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
