Back Cover
A rich and compelling collection, Dirty Old Boston chronicles the people, streets, and buildings from the postwar years to 1987, when a new wave of transformation began. From ball games to dive bars, and amidst an ever-changing skyline, Dirty Old Boston also covers some of the city's most dramatic and tumultuous events including the wholesale razing of neighborhoods, Boston's busing crisis, and the continual fight for affordable housing.
Photographsassembled from family albums, student projects, institutional archives, and professional collectionsreveal Boston as seen from the streets. What emerges is a narrative of a city tearing down and rebuilding, protesting and celebrating, fading and thriving. Illuminating Boston's singular tenacity and spirit, Dirty Old Boston presents our proud moments and doesn't shy away from our growing pains. Here are the challenges we faced: the maddening traffic and outlandish politics, the simple pleasures of block parties and parades, and those neighborhood haunts where we found camaraderie amidst it all. Raw and beautiful, this book is an important and evocative tribute to the city and its people.
