Special Feature: Whose Bronx?

As New York City’s overheated real-estate market begins to affect the Bronx, researchers and memoirists are rejecting received wisdom about the borough’s crisis-ridden past and warning of new threats to the stability of its working-class neighborhoods.

In this special review feature, Aly Hassell comments on the historical documentary Decade of Fire, while Susan Saegert discusses the memoirs of two hard-fighting Bronx housing advocates.
