Beskrivelse af Livonia The Whitest City
Two years after the biggest race riot in U.S. history, Detroit was fast becoming one of the blackest cities in America. A few miles west, Livonia was one year away from being crowned the whitest city in America. The Detroit Eight decided it was time to 'move behind enemy lines' and infiltrate the burbs. Behind picket fences, beneath a sheath of quiet civility, The Eights begin to uncover the sinister underbelly-violence, corruption, oppression and racial hysteria. Power brokers crop up everywhere. They wear suits, neatly pressed aprons, hold respectable jobs, host fundraisers and move unseen in polite society. Amid the freshly painted houses and carefully groomed lawns, Maggie and Sam find themselves embroiled in the apartheid of fear and the high-stakes dismantling of Detroit. Racism might have been the match, but the fire looks more like greed as mysteries unwind. The mafia's calling card is everywhere. The cops, neighbors and women's league are less than welcoming. What about the Eights? Maggie's missing French-Canadian radical, activist parents? The legendary Oz? Where do they fall within the tremor of underground forces between darkness and light?
