Tune in to our discussion with co-authors Thad Williamson and Julian Hayter about their new book, The Making of Twenty-First-Century Richmond (2024). The book explores the fraught history of Richmond, VA, a mid-sized city working to emerge from the shadows of its early history as the capital of the Confederacy and the challenges of urban decline in recent decades. Drawing on multidisciplinary methods, The Making of Twenty-First-Century Richmond analyzes the root causes and internal dynamics that have shaped the city over time through close examinations of education policy, economic development, and housing.
