An account of Jack Cashill’s fascinating memoir Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities. Cashill’s book focuses on the city of Newark, NJ and challenges the academically entrenched view that whites left urban centers in droves during the postwar decades because of anti-black prejudice. Instead, Cashill identifies large roles for destructive federal housing programs, deteriorating public schools, and exploding crime rates
