White Flight by Kevin M. Kruse

Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism

This book delves into the socio-political dynamics of Atlanta during the mid-20th century, exploring how the phenomenon of "white flight" shaped the city's racial landscape. It examines the mass exodus of white residents from urban centers to suburban areas in response to the Civil Rights Movement and the desegregation of public spaces. Through detailed historical analysis, the narrative uncovers the complex interplay between race, politics, and urban development, highlighting how these shifts contributed to the entrenched racial divides and the transformation of American cities.
