Abstract

The American Civil War was a crucial event in the development of Chicago as the metropolis of the heartland. Not only did Chicagoans play an important role in the politics of the conflict, encouraging emancipation and promoting a "hard war" policy against Southern civilians, but they supported the troops materially through production of military supplies and foodstuffs as well as morally and spiritually through patriotic publications and songs. The Civil War transformed Chicago from a mere commercial center to an industrial power as well as the nation's railroad hub and busiest port. The war

Abstract

The Chicago metropolitan area in the early 21st century is a prime testing ground for the broad concepts and particular approaches to public policy associated with Neoliberalism. Over a span of 25 years Chicago's municipal government has closed public schools and supported the formation of charter schools, demolished all high-rise family public housing in favour of mixed-income, new urbanist communities, adopted increasingly advanced police surveillance technologies, and privatized various public facilities through long-term agreements with private vendors. This work analyzes this topic.

Abstract

Les regards croisés que propose ce volume sur Chicago nous entraînent dans une relecture historique qui inclut son passé révolutionnaire à la fin du XIXe siècle, le Mouvement de la Liberté en 1966, ainsi que le radicalisme étudiant et la répression policière dans les années 60-70. Les études sur la ville portent sur l'évolution du rôle de la communauté slave, la ségrégation raciale dans l'habitat et l'importance croissante du Christianisme " post-dénominationnel ". Puis sont réexaminés les regards des écrivains Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Nelson Algren et Saul Bellow. Enfin c'est sur le métissage que se conclut ce volume, avec l'imaginaire japonisant de Frank Lloyd Wright, le concours national de patchwork de l'exposition universelle de 1933, et l'œuvre du poète du Chicago Blues, Sterling Plumpp.

Abstract

The Muse in Bronzeville, a dynamic reappraisal of a neglected period in African American cultural history, is the first comprehensive critical study of the creative awakening that occurred on Chicago's South Side from the early 1930's to the cold war. Coming of age during the hard Depression years and in the wake of the Great Migration, this generation of Black creative artists produced works of literature, music, and visual art fully comparable in distinction and scope to the achievements of the Harlem Renaissance. This highly informative and accessible work, enhanced
