Making the Second Ghetto: Race and Housing in Chicago 1940-1960 (Historical Studies of Urban America)

Book Description

In Making the Second Ghetto, Arnold Hirsch argues that in the post-depression years Chicago was a "pioneer in developing concepts and devices" for housing segregation. Hirsch shows that the legal framework for the national urban renewal effort was forged in the heat generated by the racial struggles waged on Chicago's South Side. His chronicle of the strategies used by ethnic, political, and business interests in reaction to the great migration of southern blacks in the 1940s describes how the violent reaction of an emergent "white" population combined with public policy to segregate the city.

"In this excellent, intricate, and meticulously researched study, Hirsch exposes the social engineering of the post-war ghetto."—Roma Barnes, Journal of American Studies

"According to Arnold Hirsch, Chicago's postwar housing projects were a colossal exercise in moral deception. . . . [An] excellent study of public policy gone astray."—Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune

"An informative and provocative account of critical aspects of the process in [Chicago]. . . . A good and useful book."—Zane Miller, Reviews in American History

"A valuable and important book."—Allan Spear, Journal of American History

Racism + Capitalism = Public Housing in Chicago.......2002-12-29

Excellent review of how the Chicago Housing Authority, despite good intentions, ended up not only itself segregated, but reinforced existing housing segregation in the private market.

Hirsch actually takes a much broader view of his subject than public housing. Rather, he exp;ores the various ways public policy was manipulated (generally by commercial interests) to serve their own ends, and how those profit driven manipulations resulted in Chicago being one of America's most segregated cities. Ironically, the dramatic expansion of the Black Ghetto chronicalled by Hirsch occurred at the same time that the country was under seige by the forces of McCarthism...yet in Chicago, the commercial interests (lead by Marshall Field) had no compunction about seizing private property to serve their own ends.

Anyone who believes that neighborhoods are segregated because of private choices must read this book and learn the truth.

the deception of public housing.......2000-09-28

After reading The Hidden War,(which made extensive reference to Hirsch's book)I wanted a more detailed history about the creation of public housing as we know it to be in Chicago. This book gives detail of how the political,educational, civic organizations wanted to contain the burgeoning African American community which was growing during post world war II and the great migration years. The powerful in Chicago used government policies to maintain housing segregation...the powerless resorted to violence to keep African Americans out of neighborhoods...the results were the massive and bleak housing structures which are called public housing. This book not only talks about the historical wheelings and dealings of the white power structure, but it also gives insight into how the same tactics are being used today, to maintain certain class and racial segregation. This is a good companion must read along with The Hidden WARS.

Well-written historical account.......1998-07-08

I had to read this book for a college history class I took 2 years ago and I felt that it was extremely detailed and informative. I was quite surprised by my reaction because I felt it was a great read whether or not you enjoy historical books.

Book Description

Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history–and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago’s notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club’s proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh “butterflies” awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot’s earnings and kept a “whipper” on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.

Not everyone appreciated the sisters’ attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters’ most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of “white slavery”——the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America’s sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, “Hinky Dink” Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott’s colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation’s hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America’s journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.

Praise for Sin in the Second City:
“Assiduously researched… [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by “foreigners” to the nation’s Christian values.”
——Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature." — The Wall Street Journal

"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel."
——The Atlanta Journal Constitution

“With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction. Sex, opulence, murder — What's not to love?”
—— Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

“A detailed and intimate portrait of the Ritz of brothels, the famed Everleigh Club of turn-of-the-century Chicago. Sisters Minna and Ada attracted the elites of the world to such glamorous chambers as the Room of 1,000 Mirrors, complete with a reflective floor. And isn’t Minna’s advice to her resident prostitutes worthy advice for us all: “Give, but give interestingly and with mystery.”’
—— Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City

“Karen Abbott has combined bodice-ripping salaciousness with top-notch scholarship to produce a work more vivid than a Hollywood movie.”
—— Melissa Fay Greene, author of There is No Me Without You

“Sin in the Second City is a masterful history lesson, a harrowing biography, and - best of all - a superfun read. The Everleigh story closely follows the turns of American history like a little sister. I can't recommend this book loudly enough.”
—— Darin Strauss, author of Chang and Eng

“This is a story of debauchery and corruption, but it is also a story of sisterhood, and unerring devotion. Meticulously researched, and beautifully crafted, Sin in the Second City is an utterly captivating piece of history.”
—— Julian Rubinstein, author of Ballad of the Whiskey Robber

Customer Reviews:

Excellent on several levels.......2007-10-09

Sin in the Second City presents itself as a history, and it is. Solidly researched, with an extensive bibliography, this book will become a standard reference not only for devotees of the Chicago underworld, but by anyone interested in the social and political evolution of the United States. There's plenty of food for thought here both in the area of how different types of people fit into society, but also of what society owes itself. But even if all you want is a good read, Sin in the Second City delivers. This is a page turner full of fascinating characters, good and evil, and everything in between - all told in compelling style. I was up most of the night because I couldn't put it down.

Brilliant and Satisfying.......2007-10-08

Karen Abbott is a terrific writer and she brings so much mood and atmosphere to a sometimes dark and troubling city. Where Erik Larson's Chicago is peppered with depravity and danger lurking at every corner, Abbott brightens the alleyways and dimly lit boudoirs with the charm and grace of the two Everleigh sisters and their famed butterflies. Though the parties may be light and airy, there's a larger social issue at play here, and Abbott tackles that with a true historian's attention to detail without sacrificing the pace of her story. One of the best books I've read in some time.

Slice of Life.......2007-10-08

Terrific slice of life of turn of the century Chicago. Indispensible reading for residents old and new about a chapter of history I knew little about.

Great Read - Interesting History.......2007-10-08

Perhaps you're more-or-less familiar with the Everleigh Sisters career, as I am. But Karen Abbott makes the people more real, with details that bring you closer to the time of the action. You can appreciate the main characters and what they try to accomplish. You can feel warned and threatened when the "bad guys" make their appearance...especially when you realalize they were REAL! A lot of research went into this publication and the key to making this a good book is the way the facts are interwoven to hold your interest. It's well done and I would recommend it.

Well Done.......2007-10-08

I just finished Sin and found it not quite as satisfying as the review I read, which had me want to buy it in the first place. Though extremely well researched, I felt it was an extension of a dissertation. That is my only criticism. The author brings the reader to Chicago in the early 1900's. She allows you to smell the Levee, feel the cold wind and visualize the colors of the courtesans' clothes. Her interest in the sisters comes through and her non-biased stance on her subject(s) was appreciated. Perhaps that is what bothered me, the author presented the facts (again, the research was stellar), I simply felt a "remove" from it. A lack of passion, if you will. However, I suggest buying this book for its contents and unique subject matter.

Chicago Chronicles vol. 3 is a decent source for a campaing in chicago, and the added section on milwaukee adds an extra setting. But this volume has rather useless information and things are repeated. the book is tedious and not at all as usefull as the other 2 for shicago by night, but the milwaukee section makes it at least worthwhile. I recommend gamemasters using chicago buy the first 2 books, Chicago Chronicles vol. 1 and 2, but the third is only necessary if you want an added area like milwaukee.

Book Description

Many Chicagoans rose in protest over A. J. Liebling’s tongue-in-cheek tour of their fair city in 1952. Liebling found much to admire in the Windy City’s people and culture—its colorful language, its political sophistication, its sense of its own history and specialness, but Liebling offended that city’s image of itself when he discussed its entertainments, its built landscapes, and its mental isolation from the world’s affairs.

Liebling, a writer and editor for the New Yorker, lived in Chicago for nearly a year. While he found a home among its colorful inhabitants, he couldn’t help comparing Chicago with some other cities he had seen and loved, notably Paris, London, and especially New York. His magazine columns brought down on him a storm of protests and denials from Chicago’s defenders, and he gently and humorously answers their charges and acknowledges his errors in a foreword written especially for the book edition. Liebling describes the restaurants, saloons, and striptease joints; the newspapers, cocktail parties, and political wards; the university; and the defining event in Chicago’s mythic past, the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. Illustrated by Steinberg, Chicago is a loving, if chiding, portrait of a great American metropolis.

Customer Reviews:

Would he have felt otherwise about the Third?.......2007-07-23

A.J. Liebling is America's most incisive and poetic journalist. And Chicago is a city worth reading and writing about. But this is not the place to start reading Liebling or reading about Chicago.

Joe Liebling was not of the "what, where, when, who" style of journalism., He needed something to spark his creative interest, someone to admire, if only a likeable rogue. Liebling found nothing and nobody in Chicago to admire, just plain rogues. And here the rogues were Republican press barons, Colonel McCormack of the Chicago Tribune foremost among them. His professional enemies. Moreover, Liebling was bored by what we now call "Middle America", and he didn't like being bored, either.

Unlike his colleague Joe Mitchell at the New Yorker (most of whose work is collected in "Up in the old hotel"), Liebling didn't subscribe to "nihil humanum a me alienum puto". There were simply people and places out there that he had no use for. New York City con men, Norwegian sailors, Louisiana rabble rousers and Nevada cowboys have their place in Liebling's world, but 3 million people all trying to conform to something they themselves couldn't define did not. That's the way Liebling understood Chicago. The various Bohemias that Chicago had nourished or tolerated (see Kenneth Rexroth's "Autobiographical novel, for some examples) were reduced or gleichgeschaltet by Liebling's visit in the Fifties. He hated the place so much that he never made the connections that would help him see behind the facade that Chicago was so anxious to present to the world.

In spite of all I've just said, this is actually an entertaining and in some ways very enlightening book, especially for those now living in Chicagoland. Those unfamiliar with Liebling (and Chicago) might better try his early paean to his native New York City, "Back where I came from", in which Liebling employed his unforgiving eye and mordancy of phrase much more productively.

"The Only Completely Corrupt City in America".......2005-06-12

The 1890 census showed that, for the first time, Chicago was the second most populous city in the nation, supplanting Philadelphia. New York, then as now, remained at the top. This one-down relationship gave the Windy City its other famous nickname, "The Second City," which in this book suggests both its inferiority to New York and its incessant striving. Chicagoans seem ambivalent about their status. "People you meet at a party devote a great deal more time than people elsewhere to talking about good government, but they usually wind up the evening boasting about the high quality of the crooks they have met." An alderman tells Liebling that Chicago "is the only completely corrupt city in America." When Liebling reminds him of other corrupt cities, the alderman replies defensively, 'But they aren't nearly as big.'"

Essayist, reporter, humorist A.J. Liebling, himself a New Yorker (who first visited Chicago in 1938, and lived there for about a year between 1949 and 1950, and briefly in 1951), takes a Big Apple-centric view in these 1953 essays originally published in The New Yorker, a magazine to which he frequently contributed. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his sports writing, especially boxing ("The Sweet Science)" and each year pugilism's top journalistic prize is the "A.J. Liebling Award." Here, Liebling takes aim at the decline of Chicago in the arts, industry, and design, noting the city's brief but glorious apotheosis at the turn of the century and its largely futile self-aggrandizement since then. "The city consequently has the personality of man brought up in the expectation of a legacy who has learned in middle age that it will never be his." As a good journalist, Liebling wanted to discover the cause of the turnabout, and Chicago natives who agreed with him offered their own theories:

"Chicago could have had the automobile if Chicago money had gone after it,' a Chicago stockbroker once assured me. "But the big boys let it go by default, they didn't want an industry here that would dwarf them.'" Others trace it to the pacifist stance of Jane Addams (of Hull House fame) during the WWI. In any event, says Liebling, Chicago has been playing catch-up ever since, and the native seems to feel taken. Plays in Chicago are presumed inferior to the New York production of the same play, or, "if they are the New York production, with original casts intact," the actors are presumed to give an inferior performance. Mid-20th Chicago's response to its percieved victimization and inferiority is a pathetic boosterism; pathetic because, try as it may, the Second City's efforts are invariably second-rate, bourgeois, and unknowingly kitschy. FOr example, Liebling complains that Chicago restuarants, unlike those in New York, feel they must actually convince you drink or dine, and so stage hokey shows and color their menus with decorous prose:

"The Porterhouse, a restaurant in the Hotel Sherman, when I last looked in on it, had six cowboys violinists in fringed pants to play "Tales from the Vienna Woods," at your table in order to sell you a hamburger, and the menu listed credits for costume and scenic design. The urge to embellishment found literary outlet in the listing of things to eat, such as `Ah, the PORTERHOUSE! Aristocrat of steaks...most delectable of steaks. Greatest of all the steaks, for within it are encompassed the Tenderloin, the Sirloin, the meaty bone of the full loin.'"

As in his brilliant "The Telephone Booth Indian," Liebling seems drawn to the proletariat, and especially, the scam. Part of Liebling's appeal-and his power as a satirist-is his ability to cloak subjective opinion in the details and tone of the objective journalist. His field reports, however, are highly selective. Liebling's liberal quoting of slang adds to his authenticity: "The Chicago bars also employ blondes known as dice girls, who...keep score on customers attempting a ten-dice game called Twenty-Six. If you win, the house pays four to one, which gives it a seventeen-percent edge. This is about the same as the take of the parimutual machines in New York State. The bar, however, pays its four to one in trade, on which there is a profit of perhaps three hundred percent. One of my most astute Chicago friends, a native, believes the girls [cheat]. I do not believe this for a minute, but it illustrates the working of the Chicago mind. It is inconceivable to my friend that the house should be content with the monumental advantage it already has." Liebling also toys with the Chicago natives who wrote to protest his "New Yorker" pieces. One critic wrote that he hoped he would be the first to "...grasp the hand of Mr. Liebling as he staggers (I hope) backward from reading such reactionaries as this one of many of which he must be in recipience daily!" Liebling, explaining that he will add some of his own comments to the book's footnotes, writes that he has "added a few of my own reactionaries to those of which I have been in recipience."

Saul Steinberg, also of "New Yorker" fame, augments the text with his stylized line drawings. Liebling writes that the view from Lake Michigan is a "serrated wall of high buildings," but that Chicagoans know that "what they see is like a theatre backdrop with a city painted on it"; Steinberg draws a convincing picture of a façade. The sense of fakery extends to Chicago's long running scams in politics, the judicial system, and law enforcement. Liebling interviews a crooked otherwise well-intentioned alderman, who innocently talks about his responsibilites to procure (i.e., buy) votes and procure jobs for the loyal. He describes the city's fixation on the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, contrasting this with its shorter attention span to current, but more prosaic homicides. Other objects of Liebling's reportage include Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, Chicago sports (though this section is surprisingly brief), strip joints' fleecing of conventioneers, racial tensions ("Chicago's greatest present danger"), and Chicago's intellectual climate: "Everyone you meet belongs to a Great Books Discussion Group [but] the samplings of them are exceedingly small." "In Chicago intellectual circles, a man who can't do a psychoanalysis between two Martinis ranks with a fellow who can't change a tire."

"The Second City" is an interesting though largely dated book; many of the then-current colloquialisms and allusions are obscure today. While Liebling doesn't seem secretly fond of Chicago, his other books suggest that he sees urban and proletarian shortcomings as something indelible in the American way, and there's a kind of sympathetic undertone. However, Chicagoans (and others) who read this Liebling book only might rightfully take offense at some of his pot shots, comments that seem to unfairly single out Chicago. Although Liebling is a master wordsmith and his dry humor is keen, the writing doesn't seem quite as nimble, witty, and strong as in "The Sweet Science" (about boxing) or the aforementioned "Telephone Booth Indian." Still, Liebling's observations skills--his eye and ear for the telling quote or description-are intact and entertaining.

Perfect Prose but a Dated Message. .......2005-05-19

This is the second A.J. Liebling book that I've read. The first was Between Meals which was absolutely fantastic. Chicago... is a beautiful piece of reportage about the city in which I live. It is marred (seriously) only by its shrunken size. It is a mere 140 pages long and much of the text is bloated by lengthy footnotes and cartoons. Liebling's description of my town is a riveting historical relic that recreates the personality of Colonel McCormick, the newspapers of the past, a social scene that has no bearing to current reality, and demographics that are totally baffling to present residents. This a fifties, pre-riots take on the second city and, as such, one cannot help but be surprised by some of its rhetoric. Parts of the city that were in massive decline then are worth more than all but a few areas in the United States now. This is notably true of the Old Town neighborhood which once possessed only German and Hungarian restaurants but now is a lively center of commerce with one bedroom condos worth as much or more than mansions in the suburbs. Yet Liebling, like everyone else, should not be faulted for not predicting the future as gentrification is something that few thought possible until the eighties--which was long after he died. Nearly all readers will marvel at the complexity and grandeur of his style, however. This man was king of the metaphor as cliches were unknown to him. His example enriches all writers who come across him. If I were you though, I'd try to find these essays for free online somewhere because the price is too excessive for what you actually receive. It's just too short to justify a cover price of $19.95.

Book Description

By exploring and comparing North America's, Russia's, and Japan's "second cities" of a century ago -- Chicago, Moscow, and Osaka -- Second Metropolis discloses the extent to which social fragmentation, frequently viewed as an obstacle to democratic development, actually fostered pluralistic public policies.

Such policies are explored through six case studies -- the politics of street railways and charter reform in Chicago, adult education and housing in Moscow, and harbor revitalization and poverty alleviation in Osaka -- that illustrate how even those with massive political and economic power were stymied by the complexity of their communities. Chicago, Moscow, and Osaka, though the products of very different nations and cultures, nonetheless shared an important experience of inclusive politics during an era of extraordinary growth and social diversity. The success of all three cities, which went well beyond mere survival, rested on a distinctive political resource: pragmatic pluralism.

Stimulating comparison.......2002-07-12

As a Japanese living near Osaka, the topic -- comparison between Chicago, Moscow and Osaka is very stimulating. Although written in a highly academic style, this book is easy to read for non-academia, with a lot of historical pictures. The authorfs main concern is to put Moscow (and Russia) in a comparative perspective, but at the same time he succeeded in portraying the dynamic transformation of modern urban society vividly. I recommended this book to many friends in my country. Some day we would like to have translated version of this book for Japanese market. Many of us are fed up with situation Japan tends to be treated as overly unique or exceptional by observers Japanese and foreign alike. Our country and culture may be unique, but it is just as unique as most of the nations in the world. It seems to me that the author likes to say same thing to Russia. He successfully presented an interesting case by putting the three great non-capital cities side by side.

Classic sketches from brilliant comedians.......2000-07-19

The Second City has lasted for 40 years by offering up biting social satire performed by unknowns who usually go on to become huge comedy stars. Every member of the SCTV Network show and most of the original cast of "Saturday Night Live" are Second City alums. The material covered in these tapes ranges from newer scenes to bits that have recurred since the '60s! Here, they are performed by some lesser-known, but no less hysterical, Second City vets. Chief among them: Tim Kazurinsky (from "Saturday Night Live"), "Strangers With Candy" cast members/writers Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Amy Sedaris, & Mitch Rouse, Ron West ("3rd Rock From the Sun"), and Jill Talley ("Mr. Show"). Every bit is strong (this is a greatest hits, after all) and none outstay their welcome. Many of the scenes were created & originally performed by such heavy hitters as Belushi, Farley, Murray, etc. An incredible sampler of some of the best comedy of the past 40 years. And, it's live, too!
