Elijah Anderson illuminates the public life of an American city, offering a major reinterpretation of the racial dynamcis in America. He introduces the concept of the "cosmopolitan canopy"--The urban island of civility and cultural convergence existing amid the ghettos, suburbs, and ethnic encalves in which segregation is the norm. Additionally, he identifies the racial fault lines that on occasion rend the "canopy" and describes the ways in which it recovers
