The new book on ACORN, AY gaps, and full disclosure in a review
Atlantic Yards Report
I'll have a review shortly of John Atlas's new book, Seeds of Change: The Story of ACORN, America's Most Controversial Antipoverty Community Organizing Group, published by Vanderbilt University Press.
It's a serious book, though highly sympathetic and quite sloppy. And after reading it, I can say with confidence that the headline for Peter Dreier's TPMcafe review, ACORN's Kick-Ass Activism - New Book Reveals the Whole Story, is far from accurate when it comes to Atlantic Yards.
...Indeed, the bailout by Forest City Ratner is a glaring omission.
(Note the non-advertisement for NLG on the cover of the book.)
