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. 606 $aWorking class$zIllinois$zChicago 606 $aSociology, Urban$zIllinois$zChicago 606 $aSocial values$zIllinois$zChicago 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xRace relations 607 $aBeltway (Chicago, Ill.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aSociology, Urban 615 0$aSocial values 676 $a306/.09773/11 700 $aKefalas$b Maria$01041138 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449892703321 996 $aWorking-class heroes$92478169 997 $aUNINA
