In this timely book, Christopher Robert Reed explores early Depression-era politics on Chicago's South Side. The economic crisis caused diverse responses from groups in the black community, distinguished by their political ideologies and stated goals. Some favored government intervention, others reform of social services. Some found expression in mass street demonstrations, militant advocacy of expanded civil rights, or revolutionBlacks in the diaspora.African AmericansIllinoisChicagoPolitics and government20th centuryAfrican AmericansIllinoisChicagoSocial conditions20th centuryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryDepressions1929Social aspectsIllinoisChicagoSouth Chicago (Chicago, Ill.)Politics and government20th centurySouth Chicago (Chicago, Ill.)Social conditions20th centuryChicago (Ill.)Politics and government20th centuryChicago (Ill.)Social conditions20th centuryAfrican AmericansPolitics and governmentAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryDepressionsSocial aspects323.1196/073077311Reed Christopher Robert1495697MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781978403321The Depression comes to the South Side3719891UNINA
