Contesting the Postwar City - Working-Class and Growth Politics in 1940s Milwaukee - Eric (St Olaf College Fure-Slocum

Focusing on mid-century Milwaukee, Eric Fure-Slocum charts the remaking of political culture in the industrial city. Fure-Slocum shows how two contending visions of the 1940s city - working class politics and growth politics - fit together uneasily and were transformed amid a series of social and policy clashes.
