Abstract:

This chapter explores the early career of Chicago-born painter Charles White, and argues that the artistic production of young black artists became intricately intertwined with protest politics during the 1930s. As a young man, White educated himself in the history of African Americans by discovering books like The New Negro, the definitive collection of the Harlem Renaissance, and by joining the Arts Craft Guild, where White and his cohorts taught each other new painting techniques and held their own exhibitions. These painters developed as artists by identifying with the laboring people of C

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the cultural undergirding that made the Jazz Age what it was. The performing arts—which included instrumental music, choral music, and individual vocal presentations—dominated creative performance in Chicago. Mastery of the voice heard in sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses accompanied widespread mastery of the piano. As a result, highly skilled musicians abounded. In the second decade of the century, ragtime, blues, and jazz emerged. Black groups performed throughout the city in concert halls such as the downtown district's Orchestra Hall and Auditorium Theater, in

This chapter looks at Puerto Rico: 98, an art exhibit at Chicago's Puerto Rican Cultural Center and then at the Chicago Art Institute commemorating one hundred years of U.S. control over Puerto Rico and featuring visual meditations with respect to the Puerto Rican flag and the island's problematic nationhood. The exhibition was a manifesto in relation to the flag as well as flagism—banderismo. The three artists, Elizam Escobar, Ramón López, and Juan Sánchez, are independistas who have all led lives of political as well as artistic struggle.

This chapter examines how workers used the rituals of death to interpret, accommodate, and resist their living and working conditions during the period 1873–1913. It first traces the history of the American cemetery, and especially its rise as a cultural institution, before turning to Chicago's cemeteries as social and cultural spaces on the city's landscape. It then discusses how broader tensions in industrial society were reflected in the processes of death and burial. It also looks at the ways that Chicago's working classes turned to cemeteries to extend the terrain of contemplating the con

It examines a long-standing organizational component of the Chicago Outfit—namely, the Chicago Heights boys. It looks at the Chicago Heights operation from its beginning in the early 1900s to the heyday of Outfit activities in the post-World War II era. Along the way, the book attempts to unravel the mix of social and cultural discriminations against Italians in the early part of the last century, the consequential group characteristics that emerged within th

Abstract:

For the greater part of the last century, Chicago Heights Italians found themselves on the wrong end of the cultural, political, and economic hierarchy in the city. This position made it extremely difficult for Italians to make recognizable gains in social mobility for themselves or their families. This chapter examines the collective mobilization strategies—labor organizing, mutual-aid societies, and ethnic entrepreneurship—that Chicago Heights Italians pursued in response to the diminished opportunities for mobility. Each collective mobilization was fueled by the social capital in the commun

This chapter examines Joseph Beifeld's attempts to create a respectable amusement park that he envisioned would enhance Chicago's civic health by rejuvenating the senses of its residents. White City represented an effort by nineteenth-century cultural elites to lift up the sensibilities of the working and middle classes by surrounding them with beautifully designed spaces. According to Beifeld, his White City amusement park was a commercial venture based on “humanitarian principles.” The goal had less to do with turning a profit and more to do with raising social and cultural standards for pol

The chapter then studies Tomás Rivera's … And the Earth Did Not Devour Him (1971) and Junot Díaz's Drown (1996). Rivera's novella is set in rural Texas migrant communities; Díaz's text follows the movements of a single family in urban New Jersey.

Benefitting from unprecedented access to new archival materials at Chicago State and Emory University, it focuses on the impact of Lerone Bennett, Jr., the magazine’s in-house historian and senior editor.

This chapter describes Pippin, the first of Bob Fosse’s two book musicals from the 1970s (Chicago being the second). Both shows engaged with cultural and social currents and were constructed around self-conscious, quasi-Brechtian staging concepts that emphasized their show business frameworks. Pippin was his most deliberately theatrical and nonrealistic show yet. This loose, revue-like look at the life of the son of Charlemagne in eighth-century France was set in a permanent limbo, told by an anachronistic troupe of players. It sported a contemporary edge as it followed the quest of the ideali

Whose Blues is about the way in which we define, interpret, and make sense of the blues in a postmodern moment more than a century removed from the music's origins in the Deep South. If "Blues is black music," as some contemporary claimants insist, what should we make of the International Blues Challenge held annually in Memphis, with its all-comers mix of nationalities and ethnicities? If there's "No black. No white. Just the blues," as another familiar meme would have us believe, why do some Chicago blues people hear that proclamation not as a call to transracial fellowship, but as an aggres

In this chapter, the author shares her sports odyssey that began in suburban Chicago and ended in Buffalo, New York. The author recalls the time when, as a young girl, she spent many hours by herself. Her tomboy persona simply didn't fit in with the girl culture at her school and there were no alternative girl playmates in her neighborhood. Yet even as hery tomboyish love of sports contributed to her isolation, it also helped solve it. The author explains how sport provided her solace and joy. Her story is about sports played for different reasons in different communities. It is about coming t

This chapter looks at how Monroe and others forged Poetry's identity through antagonistic opposition to such “standpatters” as the “quality magazines,” transforming it into a pi

When Bob Fosse died in 1987, his influence on a new generation was already being felt, and this chapter traces that influence into the twenty-first century. With the opening sequence of All That Jazz, Fosse virtually created the modern MTV music video. His use of editing to fracture time and tell stories in a nonlinear manner has been much imitated by other filmmakers. The success of the revival of Chicago prompted the creation of Fosse, a retrospective that further established the Fosse brand. His dance and theatrical aesthetic has been so thoroughly absorbed into the popular culture that it
