The Last Garden --Appendix: In the Field --Notes --BIBLIOGRAPHY --INDEXChicago's Southwest Side is one of the last remaining footholds for the city's white working class, a little-studied and little-understood segment of the American population. This book paints a nuanced and complex portrait of the firefighters, police officers, stay-at-home mothers, and office workers living in the stable working-class community known as Beltway. Building on the classic Chicago School of urban studies and incorporating new perspectives from cultural geography and sociology, Maria Kefalas considers the significance of home, community, and nation for Beltway residents.Working classIllinoisChicagoSociology, UrbanIllinoisChicagoSocial valuesIllinoisChicagoChicago (Ill.)Social conditionsChicago (Ill.)Race relationsBeltway (Chicago, Ill.)america.american history.anthropologists.anthropology.beltway.chicago school.chicago.community.cultural geography.cultural historians.cultural perspective.demographic studies.ethnographers.firefighters.home.local history.neighborhood.office workers.police officers.regional history.sociologists.sociology.southwest side chicago.stay at home mothers.urban studies.white working class.working class community.working class.Working classSociology, UrbanSocial values306/.09773/11Kefalas Maria J.1967-1656639MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821738003321Working-class heroes4125379UNINA
