Taking Oakland as a case study of urban politics and society in the United States, Chris Rhomberg examines the city's successive episodes of popular insurgency for what they can tell us about critical discontinuities in the American experience of urban political community.African AmericansCivil rightsCaliforniaOaklandHistory20th centuryBlack powerCaliforniaOaklandHistory20th centurySocial classesCaliforniaOaklandHistory20th centuryGeneral strikesCaliforniaOaklandHistory20th centurySocial conflictCaliforniaOaklandHistory20th centuryOakland (Calif.)Race relationsOakland (Calif.)Politics and government20th centuryOakland (Calif.)Social conditions20th century20th century american culture.20th century american history.black power struggle.case study.civil rights movement.class hegemony.class in america.corporate power.cultural studies.democracy.economic reform.ethnic patronage.general strikes.kkk.ku klux klan.labor protests.labor strikes.labor.oakland california.political machines.political.race in america.racial conflict.social movements.united states of america.urban political community.urban politics.urban society.white middle class.working class.African AmericansCivil rightsHistoryBlack powerHistorySocial classesHistoryGeneral strikesHistorySocial conflictHistory979.4/6605Rhomberg Chris1959-1610599MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826496403321No there there4073515UNINA
