Main Street builds on Mindy Fullilove's previous works and treats us to one of the most important books about our contemporary towns and cities since Jane Jacobs' Death and Life of Great American Cities. Mindy's perspective on the psychology of place helps us understand a different story, a story of serial forced displacements that have had devastating effects on inner- city communities, and, by extension, to all peoples and all places. This book's story is not isolated to memory and issues of race, class, and poverty; rather, it builds a strong connection to climate justice and to a more promising future. --Ron Shiffman, Professor, Pratt Institute Graduate School of Architecture Pratt Institute Graduate School of Architecture
