520    Braids personal narratives, city politics, and national 
       history to tell the timely and epic story of Chicago's 
       Cabrini-Green, America's most iconic public housing 
       project. Built in the 1940s atop an infamous Italian slum,
       Cabrini-Green grew to twenty-three towers and a population
       of 20,000--all of it packed onto just seventy acres a few 
       blocks from Chicago's ritzy Gold Coast. Cabrini-Green 
       became synonymous with crime, squalor, and the failure of 
       government. For the many who lived there, it was also a 
       much-needed resource--it was home. By 2011, every high-
       rise had been razed, the island of black poverty engulfed 
       by the white affluence around it, the families dispersed. 
       In this novelistic and eye-opening narrative, Ben Austen 
       tells the story of America's public housing experiment and
       the changing fortunes of American cities. It is an account
       told movingly through the lives of residents who struggled
       to make a home for their families as powerful forces 
       converged to accelerate the housing complex's demise. 
       Beautifully written, rich in detail, and full of moving 
       portraits, High-Risers is a sweeping exploration of race, 
       class, popular culture, and politics in modern America 
       that brilliantly considers what went wrong in our nation's
       effort to provide affordable housing to the poor--and what
       we can learn from those mistakes.
