White Man’s City In Macheria’s‚ “Meeting the Challenge in an African City” was a great description of the plight of many large cities (around the world).

misrepresent‚ omit‚ or unfairly compile facts. A brief summary description can fairly represent the gist of the historical essence of a person or event. Accounts which are written from a specific perspective (feminist‚ nationalist‚ religious‚ scientific‚ artistic) are more likely to uncover more relevant evidence in that area but also to overestimate the importance of such evidence.
