Twenty-First Century Chicago investigates the social, economic, political, and governmental conditions of Chicago in this century. The anthology features a unique emphasis on first-hand accounts: speeches by politicians, newspaper stories, editorials by journalists, memoirs and biographies, and little known research reports advocating change. Covering metropolitan Chicago as a whole, the volume underscores the city's efforts in recent years to establish itself as a global metropolitan region and highlights the most pressing issues Chicago faces in order to create a positive future in these challenging times.
The revised third edition reflects significant changes within Chicago. The anthology now includes three recent speeches from Mayor Lori Lightfoot and new or expanded coverage on the topics of racism and police violence, scandals and corruption, and political shifts in voting patterns for various counties within Chicago.
Twenty-First Century Chicago is an ideal resource for courses that explore the dynamic history and modern impact of this vibrant and influential city.
