The Multiracial Promise: Harold Washington's Chicago and the Democratic Struggle in Reagan's America
Understanding Chicago’s Latino Communities Through Religion, Politics, and Identity
In the Shadow of the Second Ghetto
This essay offers a personal reflection on the significance of Arnold Hirsch’s Making the Second Ghetto. Drawing on her personal experiences going to school with African American students and traveling through the black South Side of Chicago in the 1970s and 1980s, the author argues that reading Hirsch’s work confirmed the segregation and economic inequality she witnessed as a child. She concludes that the story Hirsch narrated helped explain the…
Laura McEnaney. Postwar: Waging Peace in Chicago
In Postwar: Waging Peace in Chicago, Laura McEnaney offers us a unique view of mid-twentieth-century Chicago by focusing on the process of demobilization after World War II and the return to “normal life.” She frames “peacetime as process” (3) for Chicago’s veterans, tenants, landlords, workers, resettlers, and homemakers and interrogates the transition from war to the 1950s’ age of American consumerism and prosperity in ways that few historians …

Urban History and the Construction of Social Difference
Sonia Song-Ha Lee. Building a Latino Civil Rights Movement: Puerto Ricans, African Americans, and the Pursuit of Racial Justice in New York City
African American activism has been the long-standing staple of American civil rights history. Black campaigns for voting rights, open housing, educational equity, and myriad other issues symbolize the nation's quintessential dilemmas over racial equality and social justice. The efforts of Latinos (specifically, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans) to secure the promise of American democracy, however, have received much less attention from scholars and the…

Brown in the Windy City: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in Postwar Chicago
Like other industrial cities in the postwar period, Chicago underwent the dramatic population shifts that radically changed the complexion of the urban north. As African American populations grew and white communities declined throughout the 1960s and '70s, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans migrated to the city, adding a complex layer to local racial dynamics. Brown in the Windy City is the first history to examine the migration and settlement of Mexica…

By exploring this student's narrative, the author gained insight into how the student understood his own personal educational exp…
