The second collection reflects and celebrates this year’s Mazals honorees: works by the incisive, rousing, and prolific M. Gessen; several volumes that address the housing issues that the NYS Tenant Bloc tirelessly organizes around; and selections that lay out local and national urban issues -- and in some cases visionary solutions -- that the Dream Team of Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani strive to address. This group includes:
M. Gessen, Surviving Autocracy
M. Gessen, Where the Jews Aren’t
Anna Clark, The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy
Tom Frank, Listen Liberal: Or Whatever Happened to the Party of the People?
