520 |a Overcoming a past of deteriorating homes, empty storefronts, and corrupt city administrations, Somerville, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, proudly defines itself as a longtime immigrant city, a historically blue collar town, and a hip new urban center with a progressive city government. In this book, the author shows how beneath high levels of engagement by Somerville residents lies a struggle about who should be the city's elected leaders and how they should conduct the city's affairs. It is a struggle waged between diverse residents - relatively new immigrants and a new middle class trying to gain a foothold in democratic participation, and the city's political "old guard." This book informs debates about the place of immigrants in civic and political life, and the role of voluntary associations in local politics and government. In the process, the author provides useful lessons for midsize urban communities.
