Civic Wars by Mary P Ryan
Traces the fate of public life and the emergence of ethnic, class, and gender conflict in the 19th-century city. Based on the analysis of 3 quite different cities - New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco - this title illustrates how city spaces were used, understood, and fought over by a dazzling variety of social groups and political forces.
