Thomas J. Sugrue’s The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit is a landmark work of urban history and American social history. Centered on Detroit, it explains how a city once celebrated as the arsenal of democracy became a symbol of postindustrial decline. Rather than treating the 1967 rebellion as the starting point of disaster, Sugrue traces the roots of urban crisis back to the postwar decades, showing how housing discrimination, job segregation, deindustrialization, and capital flight shaped life in the city long before the most visible collapse. The book examines how institutional and often legalized racism restricted African American opportunity while also reshaping white working- and middle-class politics, suburban growth, and the geography of opportunity. As an updated edition, it remains relevant not only as a history of Detroit but also as a broader explanation of racial inequality and metropolitan change in the United States.
