摘要

Throughout 1971 and 1972, New York City officials were locked in a heated battle with residents of Forest Hills, Queens over the construction of public housing for the poor in this middle-class and largely Jewish neighbourhood. The city had approved this project under its scatter site plan, which called for the building of low-income housing in middle-income neighbourhoods in order to foster economic and racial integration. Faced with growing community opposition, Mayor John V. Lindsay retreated from the original scatter site proposal, commissioning an investigation that resulted in the reduction of the project to one half of its proposed size, and its transformation to a low-income co-operative that would house the elderly and white working poor rather than underprivileged African American families.; While this case may appear to simply represent a manifestation of black-Jewish tensions or of white ethnic "backlash," the protests against scatter site housing were in fact more complicated than either of these portrayals suggest. Although Forest Hills residents' fear of poor African Americans certainly informed their opposition to the project, their protests were also directed against a style of government that had shaped New York City politics since the New Deal.

Lindsay)从最初的分散地点提议中撤出,进行了一项调查,结果将该项目缩减到了拟议规模的一半,并将其转变为一个低收入的合作社,将安置老年人和白人打工者而不是贫穷的非洲裔美国家庭。尽管此案可能只是黑人犹太人紧张或白人种族“强烈反对”的表现,但针对零星住房的抗议实际上比上述任何一种描述都更为复杂。尽管Forest Hills居民对可怜的非裔美国人的恐惧无疑表明了他们对该项目的反对,但他们的抗议活动也针对自新政以来塑造了纽约市政治的一种政府风格。 (摘要由UMI缩短。)
