Abstract
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the proposition that the dual social character of urban America is mostly a product of US political choices during this century. In responding to the emerging imperatives of economic restructuring and racial transformation, federal, state, and local officials pursued a Jeffersonian notion of urban politics. The author argues that this response has diminished the nation's political capability for achieving community-building solutions to public problems in local politics, thereby creating more polarized metropolitan areas.
