Wounded City

the long version

"New York has eight million deeply personal and unique stories of pain and perseverance from September 11, 2001. But the toll of the tragedy is greater than the anguish it inflicts on individuals - communities suffer as well. In Wounded City, editor Nancy Foner brings together an accomplished group of scholars to document how a broad range of communities - residential, occupational, ethnic, and civic - were affected and changed by the World Trade Center attacks." "Using survey data and in-depth ethnographies, the book offers sophisticated analysis and gives voice to the human experiences behind the summary statistics, revealing how the nature of these communities shaped their responses to the disaster."--Jacket.
