Harriet Monroe & the Open Door . Poetry Foundation, Chicago, IL
growth of the Asian ethnoburb felt sudden.As a result, the exhibition's valiant attempt to bridge heterogeneous engagements with and uses of the cassava root felt like it relied heavily on the viewer to complete the connections being drawn.What exactly, I wondered, is the relationship between the "studious boba girl" and the mannequin covered in boba's plastic waste in numa'lo, or the mural depicting the global spread of the cassava root from the…
Taking Possession: The Politics of Memory in a St. Louis Town House
Historic houses rank among the most ubiquitous type of museum in the United States, and they bear multiple responsibilities and expectations. Heidi Aronson Kolk explores the history of the Campbell House Museum (Chm) in St. Louis, Missouri. Kolk argues that the Campbell house is a palimpsest for St. Louis elites’ belief in a living downtown that reflects the positive heritage of the city. She contends that the property's historical experience rep…
Benjamin Looker. A Nation of Neighborhoods: Imagining Cities, Communities, and Democracy in Postwar America
Ever since the emergence of the neighborhood as an identifiable unit of the city, residents, reformers, academics, government officials, cultural commentators, and artists have attempted both to define and exert control over it.

Urban Green: Nature, Recreation, and the Working Class in Industrial Chicago. By Colin Fisher
Colin Fisher has shifted the focus of working-class, African American, and ethnic engagement with the city and its varied pleasures from nightlife and commercial recreation to the pursuit and enjoyment of nature. As he amply illustrates, the interaction of immigrants, blacks, and working-class whites with nature was not solely bound by work. Instead, members of these groups sought open spaces within city limits and seemingly natural places outsid…
Engaging the Neighborhood: The East Rogers Park Neighborhood History Project and the Possibilities and Challenges of Community-Based Initiatives
The East Rogers Park Neighborhood History Project, a community-based initiative, represented an effort to build upon community engagement with its history and to sensitize students to the fact that the locality was not just there for their consumption and use but rather represented an opportunity for engaged learning that diminished barriers between the community and the students. It encouraged local residents to think more broadly about their wo…
