Abstract
This book discusses the politics of race and place in Corona, an urban community in Queens County, New York. Drawing on the lifes of black political activists and community leaders, the author discusses the ways their commitments were historically formed and politically exercised. The purpose is not limited to illustrating the diversity of African-American experiences in political power, neighborhood serves, and environmental justice. It goes beyond that to explore the social processes through which collective identities and shared political commitments are formed.
