| Summary: | Austin, Texas, is often depicted as one of the past half centuryÆs great urban successstoriesùa place that has grown enormously through ôcreative classö strategies emphasizing tolerance and environmental consciousness. In Shadows of a Sunbelt City, Eliot Tretter reinterprets this familiar story by exploring the racial and environmental underpinnings of the postindustrial knowledge economy. He is particularly attentive to how the University of Texasùworking with federal, municipal, and private-sector partners and acquiring the power of eminent domainùexpanded its power and physical footprint.
