"As a sense of crisis rose in American cities during 1960s and 1970s, a period defined by suburban growth and deindustrialization, no city was viewed in its death throes more than New York. Feeding this narrative of the dying city was a wide range of representations in film, literature, and the popular press--representations that ironically would not have been produced if not for a city full of productive possibilities as well as challenges"-- Provided by publisher
