- Summary:
- This interesting volume on American urban history examines the state of the nation's ten largest cities in several historical eras. The volume covers politically defined time periods from the revolutionary era to the current neo-liberal era and each entry provides a narrative history covering three topic areas: government and politics; industry, commerce and labor; and race, ethnicity and immigration. Chapters also include charts and tables of statistical data arranged for easy reference. Black and white photographs and sidebars appear throughout and the volume includes a comprehensive time line of American urban history. The contributors are professors of history from major American universities and independent scholars and experts. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
