Hard Cover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. First Printing. "Robert A. Slayton's Back of the Yards is one of the finest accounts I have ever read on an urban, working-class neighborhood in twentieth-century America. Its focus on family, politics, and worklife is penetrating and its conclusions rein…force an emerging scholarly picture of ordinary people exercising unique forms of power." -- John Bodnar, author of The Transplanted: A History of Immigrants in Urban America. "Until now, the historic Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago has been neglected by social historians. The packinghouse district, made famous by Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906), provides a case study in the evolution of an immigrant community over two generations. Originally fragmented by religion and ethnicity, people gradually were drawn together into ever-larger interest groups. Slayton's book, based partly on interviews, presents a colorful and moving picture of this diverse area, its people, their homes, and their jobs. The author's sensitivity to the community's character sometimes leads him dangerously close to veneration and a facile interpretation of democratic progress. Nevertheless, this is recommended for those interested in the emergence of cities." Charles K. Piehl . FINE/FINE. 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
