Joseph P. Viteritti: "Searching for the Soul of New York"

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.
