Hirsch’s Making the Second Ghetto is the rare book that has only become more piercingly prescient over the years.   Hirsch’s classic and groundbreaking work of urban history is a revelatory look at Chicago in the decades after the Great Depression, a period when the city dealt with its rapidly growing Black population not by working to abolish its stark segregation but by expanding and solidifying it. Even as the civil rights movement rose to prominence, Chicago exploited a variety of methods of segregation—including riots, redevelopment, and a host of new legal frameworks—that provided a national playbook for the emergence of a new kind of entrenched inequality. Hirsch’s chronicle of the strategies employed by ethnic, political, and business interests in reaction to the Great Migration of Southern Blacks in the mid-twentieth century makes startingly clear how the violent reactions of an emergent white population found common ground with policy makers to segregate first a city and then the nation.   This enlarged edition of Making the Second Ghetto features a visionary afterword by historian N. D. B. Connolly, explaining why Hirsch’s book still crackles with “blistering relevance” for contemporary readers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741983580433,"sku":"NGR9780226728513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022672851X.jpg?v=1751389708"},{"product_id":"urban-policy-in-twentieth-century-america-book-arnold-r-hirsch-9780813519067","title":"Urban Policy in Twentieth-Century America","description":"The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is one of the most popular breeds of dog, and here at last is a book to do it justice.

Even as the civil rights movement swept the country, Chicago dealt with its rapidly growing black population not by abolishing the ghetto, but by expanding and reinforcing it. The city used a variety of means, ranging from riots to redevelopment, to prevent desegregation. The result was not only the persistence of racial segregation, but the evolution of legal concepts and tools which provided the foundation for the nation's subsequent urban renewal effort and the emergence of a ghetto now distinguished by government support and sanction. This book not only extends our knowledge of the evolution of race relations in urban America, but adds a new dimension to our perspective on the civil rights era - an age marked by the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the explosion of northern cities in the wake of his assassination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50354565480721,"sku":"CIN0521315069G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521315069.jpg?v=1751358951"},{"product_id":"segregating-cities-book-arnold-r-hirsch-9780226744544","title":"Segregating Cities","description":"Collects critical essays by the author of Making the Second Ghetto.     Arnold R. Hirsch (1949–2018) was one of the preeminent urban historians of his generation, a reputation cemented by his landmark book, Making the Second Ghetto.
