How Downriver Detroit’s working communities fought for their region’s environment
Great Lakes Echo
By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva Downriver Detroit developed during the 20th century as an industrial region, but it was never just an industrial space. Alongside factories and working-class neighborhoods, there were wetlands, waterfront areas, nature preserves, farms and residential communities with different types of environments that shaped the region. This relationship lies at the heart of Lisa Fine’s new book, “Downriver Detroit: The Working Class, the Environment and the Bonds of Place.”

The Great Lakes as the coordinates of the heart: Jim Daniels Detroit and Michigan
Great Lakes Echo
By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva  For Jim Daniels the Rust Belt is defined by people, working families, factory neighborhoods, highways leading north toward the Great Lakes and memories that stay with a person for a lifetime. These themes run throughout his new poetry collection, “Late Invocation for Magic.”
