- Description
- The book review essay is based on the transportation monograph, Jim Crow Terminals: The Desegregation of American Airports, by British American history professor Anke Ortlepp. The essay aims to critique the author’s writing and analyze its effectiveness through the lense of the City and Regional Planning perspective. The critique focuses on airport transportation patterns occurring in American Airports in the 1960’s and its direct correlation to racism, and further challenges Ortlepp’s interpretation of the occurrences during this time while suggesting writing improvements that promotes a better interpretation for readers.
