Required reading for my college students in an Urban Education Issues course. Can't explain the educational issues without explaining how the environment came into existence.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Awesome ReadBy Pella LibertasDr. Hilfiker wrote a very informative and incredibly visionary work. If only his point of view was understood by most suburban American caucasians; perhaps they should come to realize the extent of the generational damage that has ensued and is reflected in a still racially segregated United States in 2015.A must read!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. How Racism Created the GhettosBy Daniel K. WestAs a physician; David Hilfiker saw first hand the effects of crushing poverty on the black inner city poor. Rather than blame them for thier situation; he dove into the underlying problems and the deep seated racism that had created the ghettos. He handily demolishes many of the urban legends about the poor and builds a much different picture in it's place. For such a slim volume; this is a powerful work. I highly recommend it.
