Crucibles of black empowerment

In 1983, black Chicagoans elected Harold Washington as the city's first black mayor. In the process, they overthrew the white Democratic machine and its regime of 'plantation politics'. This book details the long-term development of black Chicago's political culture, beginning in the 1930s, that both made a political insurrection possible in the right context, and informed Mayor Washington's liberal, interracial, democratic vision of urban governance.
