"Mean Streets" focuses on the streets, parks, schools, and commercial venues of Chicago from the era of the 1919 race riot to the civil rights battles of the 1960s to cast a new light on street gangs and to place youths at the center of the twentieth-century American experience. Andrew J. Diamond breaks new ground by showing that teens and young adults stood at the vanguard of grassroots mobilizations in working-class Chicago, playing key roles in the formation of racial identities as they defended neighborhood boundaries. Drawing from a wide range of sources to capture the experiences of young Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, African Americans, Italians, Poles, and others in the multiracial city, Diamond argues that Chicago youths gained a sense of themselves in opposition to others.

Heralded as America's most quintessentially modern city, Chicago has attracted the gaze of journalists, novelists, essayists, and scholars as much as any city in the nation. And, yet, few historians have attempted big-picture narratives of the city's transformation over the twentieth century. Chicago on the Make traces the evolution of the city's politics, culture, and economy as it grew from an unruly tangle of rail yards, slaughterhouses, factories, tenement houses, and fiercely defended ethnic neighborhoods into a truly global urban center. Reinterpreting the familiar narrative that Chicago's autocratic machine politics shaped its institutions and public life, Andrew J. Diamond demonstrates how the grassroots politics of race crippled progressive forces and enabled an alliance of downtown business interests to promote a neoliberal agenda that created the stark inequalities that ravage the city today. Chicago on the Make takes the story into the twenty-first century, chronicling Chicago's deeply entrenched social and urban problems as the city ascended to the national stage during the Obama years.

Neoliberal Cities
The Remaking of Postwar Urban America

Traces decades of troubled attempts to fund private answers to public urban problemsThe American city has long been a laboratory for austerity, governmental decentralization, and market-based solutions to urgent public problems such as affordable housing, criminal justice, and education. Through richly told case studies from Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and New York, Neoliberal Cities provides the necessary context to understand the always intensifying racial and economic inequality in and around the city center. In this original collection of essays, urban historians and sociologists trace the role that public policies have played in reshaping cities, with particular attention to labor, the privatization of public services, the collapse of welfare, the rise of gentrification, the expansion of the carceral state, and the politics of community control. In so doing, Neoliberal Cities offers a bottom-up approach to social scientific, theoretical, and historical accounts of urban America, exploring the ways that activists and grassroots organizations, as well as ordinary citizens, came to terms with new market-oriented public policies promoted by multinational corporations, financial institutions, and political parties. Neoliberal Cities offers new scaffolding for urban and metropolitan change, with attention to the interaction between policymaking, city planning, social movements, and the market.

Aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne, en France, le début du millénaire a vu se multiplier des discours épurés de toute référence à la catégorie de « race ». La tolérance et la diversité sont désormais les registres dominants que l’on emploie pour parler de questions relevant auparavant de cette dernière. Ainsi, aux États-Unis, l’élection de Barack Obama a donné un puissant élan à ce que Thomas Sugrue nomme le « grand récit de la réconciliation raciale », en dépit de la racialisation évidente des inégalités sociales.De part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, la notion de color-blindness gagne en influence. Elle dissimule une forme de racisme culturel, ou de racisme différentialiste, qui se diffuse dans la sphère publique, et que revendiquent même parfois certains responsables politiques. Cette évolution intervient dans un contexte de remise en cause des modèles nationaux d’intégration et de déclarations catégoriques sur le prétendu échec du multiculturalisme : prises de position dont l’objet est de critiquer des politiques jugées trop différentialistes, tout en pointant du doigt certaines catégories de la population dont l’intégration s’avérerait problématique.Ce volume se propose de mieux comprendre les logiques sociales de racialisation, et leur rapport au politique, dans une perspective comparative et en recourant à différentes disciplines. Il pratique une forme d’« histoire du présent », à la fois empirique et théorisée. Celle-ci est de salubrité publique à l’approche d’échéances électorales cruciales, en Europe comme en Amérique, alors que les problématiques identitaires conservatrices, sinon réactionnaires, effectuent un retour en force dans le débat politique et l’exercice du pouvoir.James Cohen est professeur à l’Institut du monde anglophone, université Paris 3 (Sorbonne-Nouvelle). Andrew J. Diamond est maître de conférences en histoire et civilisation américaines à l’université Charles-de-Gaulle – Lille 3 et chercheur associé au CERI. Philippe Vervaecke est maître de conférences en civilisation britannique à l’université Charles-de-Gaulle – Lille 3.Ont également contribué à cet ouvrage:Michael B. Katz ; Thomas J. Sugrue ; Paul A. Silverstein ; Olivier Esteves ; Agnès Tachin ; Romain Garbaye ; Erik Bleich ; Milena Doytcheva ; Emmanuelle Le Texier ; Vincent Latour ; Yen Le Espiritu ; Audrey Célestine
