Описание: The Ever-Changing American City seeks to help readers understand the marked changes since 1945 in what constitutes a city in the United States and who lives and works in them. The story of the postwar American city is not a simple tale of decline and rebirth. Nor is it a strai...
Covering a period from the late eighteenth century to today, this volume explores the phenomenon of urban violence in order to unveil general developments and historical specificities in a variety of Middle Eastern contexts. By situating incidents in particular processes and conflicts, the case studies seek to counter notions of a violent Middle East in order to foster a new understanding of violence beyond that of a meaningless and destructive social and political act. Contributions explore processes sparked by the transition from empires — Ottoman and Qajar, but also European — to the formation of nation states, and the resulting changes in cityscapes throughout the region.

Should the surprisingly successful outcomes achieved by outsider candidates in Philadelphia elections be interpreted as representing fundamental changes in the local political environment, or simply as one-off victories, based largely on serendipitous circumstances that advanced individual political careers? John Kromer’s insightful Philadelphia Battlefields considers key local campaigns undertaken from 1951 to 2019 that were extraordinarily successful despite the opposition of the city’s political establishment.
Kromer draws on election data and data-mapping tools that explain these upset elections as well as the social, economic, and demographic trends that influenced them to tell the story of why these campaign strategies were successful. He deftly analyzes urban political dynamics through case studies of newcomer Rebecca Rhynhart’s landslide victory over a veteran incumbent for Philadelphia City Controller; activist Chaka Fattah’s effective use of grassroots organizing skills to win a seat in Congress; and Maria Quiñones-Sánchez’s hard-fought struggle to become the first Hispanic woman to win a City Council seat, among others.
Philadelphia Battlefields shows how these candidates’ efforts to increase civic engagement, improve municipal governance, and become part of a new generation of political leadership at the local and state level were critical to their successes.

Описание: Jews in Gotham follows the Jewish saga in ever-changing New York City from the end of the First World War into the first decade of the new millennium. This lively portrait details the complex dynamics that caused Jews to persist, abandon, or be left behind in their neighborhoods during critical moments of the past century. It shows convincingly that New York retained its preeminence as the capital of American Jews because of deep roots in local worlds.
For many whites, desegregation initially felt like an attack on their community. But how has the process of racial change affected whites’ understanding of community and race? In Vanishing Eden, Michael Maly and Heather Dalmage provide an intriguing analysis of the experiences and memories of whites who lived in Chicago neighborhoods experiencing racial change during the 1950s through the 1980s. They pay particular attention to examining how young people made sense of what was occurring, and how this experience impacted their lives.
Using a blend of urban studies and whiteness studies, the authors examine how racial solidarity and whiteness were created and maintained—often in subtle and unreflective ways. Vanishing Eden also considers how race is central to the ways social institutions such as housing, education, and employment function. Surveying the shifting social, economic, and racial contexts, the authors explore how race and class at local and national levels shaped the organizing strategies of those whites who chose to stay as racial borders began to change.

Описание: Sowohl in Mexiko als auch in den USA galt im 20. Jahrhundert die Familie als die Basis der Gesellschaft. Idealvorstellungen von Familie unterschieden sich jedoch fundamental. Claudia Roeschs Monographie untersucht mexikanisch-stammigen Familien und den Wandel von Mannlichkeits- und Mutterschaftsnormen im Kontext der amerikanischen Familiengeschichte. Der Fokus liegt auf der Verhandlung von Familiennormen in Sozialexpertenstudien, sowie Ma?nahmen von Sozialarbeitern und Burgerrechtsaktivisten fur Familien. Das Buch schlie?t Forschungslucken in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Familie im 20. Jahrhundert, der Forschung zur Geschichte der Mexican Americans und der Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Sozialwissenschaften.Es schlagt einen Bogen von der ersten Welle mexikanischer Masseneinwanderung der 1910er und 1920er Jahre zu den Neuen Sozialen Bewegungen der 1970er Jahre. In einer Langzeitperspektive werden Einflusse der Amerikanisierungs- und der Eugenikbewegung, der Modernisierungstheorie, der Psychoanalyse und der Chicano Burgerrechtsbewegungen in den Blick genommen. So bietet das Buch wichtige neue Erkenntnisse uber das Verhaltnis von der Verwissenschaftlichung sozialer Arbeit und Familienwerten im Wandel im Zeitalter der Moderne.
