The Changing Face of Inequality: Urbanization, Industrial Development, and Immigrants in Detroit, 1880-1920 Tapa blanda - 2000

Primera línea

Most American cities witnessed four well-known transformations from the 1870s to the 1920s: cities became bigger, with denser and more diversified populations; the manufacture of industrial goods grew tremendously, as did the amount and types of services produced; government and community organizations changed from relatively simple to more complex structures; and, above all, cities became the prime locus of assimilation for newcomers in American society.

Descripción de contraportada

The Changing Face of Inequality is the first systematic social history of a major American city undergoing industrialization. Zunz examines Detroit's evolution between 1880 and 1920 and discovers the ways in which ethnic and class relations profoundly altered its urban scene. Stunning in scope, this work makes a major contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century cities.
