Bøger af Yvonne Scruggs-Leftwich

As the media and the internet continue to change the face of American culture, the tradition of political tomes and textbooks as primary information sources is quickly becoming outmoded.

Based on the experiences of the author Yvonne Scruggs-Leftwich, who was the executive director of the first National Urban Policy process, and historical archives, this book analyzes the actions of President Carter, HUD Secretary Patricia Roberts Harris, other Cabinet members, and the professionals leading the process. Consensus and Compromise outlines the negotiation of power, principles, and priorities necessary to ensure the successful creation of the first National Urban Policy.
