Title: How liberals turned conservative
Product review: This case study of Canarsie New York and the 1970's shows vividly how racism is not always a product of distant media stereotypes, but rather real day to day contacts between the races. Professor Rieder, who was my professor last year while I attended Columbia, clearly indicates how liberals, and especially the liberal elites failed. The limosine liberals on the upper east side would vote for school busing in the abstract because they did not have to deal with the consequences. THose lower-middle class whites who saw blacks moving in and property values declines became resently towards the liberal estabilshment. It was these former new deal Democrats who switched to Ronald Reagan in 1980 and, who before that, provded Nixon a great percentage of his "silent majority." As a liberal, and a rich one at that, it made me think of the impact that liberal policies have on the ground.
