"This anthology of prose, poetry, and essays is written by... [a] wide ethnic array of voices that truly shows the facets of Detroit life." -
Ebony Magazine
A unique perspective of the Motor City, this anthology combines stories told by both longtime residents and newcomers from activists to teachers to artists to students. While Detroit has always been rich in stories, too often those stories are told back to the city by outsiders looking in, believing they can explain Detroit back to itself. As editor, Anna Clark writes in the introduction, "These are the stories we tell each other over late nights at the pub and long afternoons on the porch. We share them in coffee shops, at church social hours, in living rooms, and while waiting for the bus. These are stories full of nodding asides and knowing laughs. These are stories addressed to the rhetorical 'you'-with the ratcheted-up language that comes with it-and these are stories that took real legwork to investigate... You will not find 'positive' stories about Detroit in this collection, or 'negative' ones. But you will find true stories."
Featuring essays, photographs, art, and poetry by Grace Lee Boggs, John Carlisle, Desiree Cooper, Dream Hampton, Steve Hughes, Jamaal May, Tracie McMillan, Marsha Music, Shaka Senghor, Thomas J. Sugrue, and many others.
"Offers from-the-heart and on-the-ground views of life in America's Motor City." -
The Boston Globe
"A thrilling success. It gives voice to people who now live or once lived in this fascinating, tortured place, the survivors, good people who know what pain is, people who understand that the city exerts an undying pull on them." -
