America's urban problems have deep historical roots, reflected in our Constitution & other political institutions. They do not reflect an inherent problem with cities per se, but a problem with them in the given cultural and political environment. So argues Daniel Lazare in America's Undeclared War<\/i>, a book that combines bold claims with subtle arguments that shed light on the whole sweep of American history. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
