David Fleming’s City of Rhetoric examines the life and death of Cabrini Green—a Chicago public housing development—and the relationship between the spoken and unspoken rhetoric involved. Fleming offers up three solutions to the problem with Cabrini Green: dispersing residents to live among the Chicago suburbs, replacing Cabrini with a low-rise, mixed income village, or renovating the building into a democratically run housing cooperative. The title, however, summarizes his mission’s main obstacle; truly, a new city—one without the current social stereotypes and divisions—would need to be created in order to facilitate these changes.

Chapter seven, “Home,” in City of Rhetoric, concentrates on public opinion of Cabrini Green, contrasted with the views held by Cabrini residents.
