From media depictions in \u003ci\u003eThe Wire \u003c\/i\u003eto the real-life trial of police officers for the murder of Freddie Gray, Baltimore has become a quintessential example of a struggling American city. Yet the truth about Baltimore is far more complicated--and more fascinating. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To help untangle these apparent paradoxes, the editors of \u003ci\u003eBaltimore Revisited \u003c\/i\u003ehave assembled a collection of over thirty experts from inside and outside academia. Together, they reveal that Baltimore has been ground zero for a slew of neoliberal policies, a place where inequality has increased as corporate interests have eagerly privatized public goods and services to maximize profits. But they also uncover how community members resist and reveal a long tradition of Baltimoreans who have fought for social justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays in this collection take readers on a tour through the city's diverse neighborhoods, from the Lumbee Indian community in East Baltimore to the crusade for environmental justice in South Baltimore. \u003ci\u003eBaltimore Revisited \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the city's past, reflects upon the city's present, and envisions the city's future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eP.
