You can't say that they've ignored it completely. There has been a mumbled comment here and there. But in other cities citizens would be locked in debate by now. I doubt if many Dallas residents even know the book exists, much less what it says about their city. It might help if the book were better written. But it's an academic work, with all that comes with that mode of writing. Interesting in light of Dallas' compulsive forgetfulness that local media have largely overlooked this book.
