NYC View

Drawing on material from his "Governing the City" course, Viteritti looks to authors with names like Hughes, Baldwin, and Didion to explore New York City through a literary lens. He then turns his gaze on the political class and, from the 1920s & Mayor Jimmy Walker through Mayor Bill de Blasio, whether New York City's leaders & their policies reflect the soul of the city.

Read Part One: Literature Read Part Two: Politics and Leadership
