Zusammenfassung:This is an alternative history of highway construction in urban America, emphasising the cultural politics of fighting freeways in the inner city. Using the methods of ethnic studies, cultural studies, and urban history, the book offers a revisionist history of the freeway revolt in urban America, that moment when neighbourhood activists organised against state highway builders to defend the integrity of their communities.
