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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEscape from Detroit: The Collapse of America's Black Metropolis \u003c\/em\u003eis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 2012, \u003cem\u003eEscape from Detroit \u003c\/em\u003ehas since fallen out of print due to deplatforming, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in this newly-edited edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Kersey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798892520379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Antelope Hill Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Paul Kersey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46618179961087,"sku":"9798892520379","price":24.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcae20be-5f4c-4262-913a-9c5bc07d7f86.jpg?v=1740069383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/escape-from-detriot-paul-kersey-9798892520379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
