The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit - Updated Edition
ISBN: 9780691162553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once America's "arsenal of democracy," Detroit is now the symbol of the American urban crisis. In this reappraisal of America's racial and economic inequalities, Thomas Sugrue asks why Detroit and other industrial cities have become the sites of persistent racialized poverty. He challenges the conventional wisdom that urban decline is the product of the social programs and racial fissures of the 1960s. Weaving together the history of workplaces, unions, civil rights groups, political organizations, and real estate agencies, Sugrue finds the roots of today's urban poverty in a hidden...

We Called It Music: A Generation of Jazz
ISBN: 9780306804663 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Eddie Condon (1905-1973) pioneered a kind of jazz popularly known as Chicago-Dixieland, though musicians refer to it simply as Condon style. Played by small ensembles with driving beat, it was and is an informal, exciting music, slightly disjointed and often mischievous. The same could be said of Condon's autobiography, We Called It Music, a book widely celebrated for capturing the camaraderie of early jazz. Condon's wit was as legendary as the music he boosted. Here is Condon on modern jazz: "The boopers flat their fifths. We consume ours." On Bix Beiderbecke: "The sound came out...

Immigration and Metropolitan Revitalization in the United States
ISBN: 9780812249125 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In less than a generation, the dominant image of American cities has transformed from one of crisis to revitalization. Poverty, violence, and distressed schools still make headlines, but central cities and older suburbs are attracting new residents and substantial capital investment. In most accounts, native-born empty nesters, their twentysomething children, and other educated professionals are credited as the agents of change. Yet in the past decade, policy makers and scholars across the United States have come to understand that immigrants are driving metropolitan revitalization at...

The New Suburban History
ISBN: 9780226456638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. America has become a nation of suburbs. Confronting the popular image of suburbia as simply a refuge for affluent whites, "The New Suburban History" rejects the stereotypes of a conformist and conflict-free suburbia. The seemingly calm streets of suburbia were, in fact, battlegrounds over race, class, and politics. With this collection, Kevin Kruse and Thomas Sugrue argue that suburbia must be understood as a central factor in the modern American experience.
Kruse and Sugrue here collect ten essays-augmented by their provocative introduction-that challenge our understanding of suburbia.... America has become a nation of suburbs. Confronting the popular image of suburbia as simply a refuge for affluent whites, "The New Suburban History" r...
