Abstract	Once the second-largest city in Indiana, and home to the world's largest steel mill, Gary has suffered and shrunk in the postindustrial global economy. A center of Black culture and political power, struggles based in Gary have profoundly shaped social and political life in the United States. This anthology collects the voices of not only the essayist, poet, and journalist but also the graffiti writer, the minister, the activist, the singer, the organizer, and of course, the steel worker. The very people who are hard at work reshaping the city from the bottom up. -- adapted from back cover
