Rust

Summary

RUST is the third in Marylou & Jerome Bongiorno's 3Rs Trilogy on Urban America, following the success of critically acclaimed, award-winning Revolution '67 on riots/rebellions of the 1960s and The Rule on urban school reform. RUST presents the history of Rust Belt poverty, detailing industrialization and de-industrialization and also racism and mass incarceration, using the city of Newark, New Jersey as a microcosm. It explores solutions to inner city inter-generational poverty through the voices of scholars, economists, physicians, activists, and the community.
