Corktown
or through the valley of dry bones
by Jeff Augustin
Jackee, a fabulous fourteen-year-old-boy, takes us on a tour of one of Detroit's oldest neighborhoods between 2007 and 2034. From the neighborhoods urban blight to the gentrified renaissance, Jeff Augustin chronicles the life cycle of a city, affected by and affecting the lives of its residents. This tale filled with gospel music, graffiti, and organic coffee shows how -- even when the music gets turned down, the graffiti is painted over, and the streets become safer -- there's a beating heart in a place's history that can't be erased.
