Summary

When a federal judge ordered the city of Yonkers, New York, to move hundreds of its poor, minority residents to the white, middle-class side of town, those who already lived there fought the order for nearly a decade, surrendering only when the fines became impossible to handle. Belkin reveals the hard lessons learned by Yonkers, and shows other communities facing the same situation the realities behind a nation of people who preach diversity, but who are actually most comfortable when surrounded by others like themselves.
