Publisher Description: In April 1983, Harold Washington became the first black mayor of Chicago. His victory came at the end of a rancorous campaign that attracted national media coverage and left Chicago a city divided against itself. Chicago Divided sensitively reconstructs the developments that led to Chicago's 1983 political season. Investigating the election and its background, Kleppner taps a formidable array of sources--including newspapers, court cases, public opinion polls, and voting returns--to analyze the causes and consequences of Chicago's electoral revolution. |
