Description
Why do American ghettos persist? Scholars and commentators often identify some factor - such as single motherhood, joblessness, or violent street crime - as the key to solving the problem and recommend policies accordingly. But, Tommie Shelby argues, these attempts to 'fix' ghettos or 'help' their poor inhabitants ignore fundamental questions of justice and fail to see the urban poor as moral agents responding to injustice.
