Polish-American Politics in Chicago, 1880-1940 (buecher.de - (Teil2)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22174257): The ´´new immigrants´´ who came from southern and eastern Europe at the turn of the century have rarely been the subject of detailed scholarly examination. In particular, Poles and other Slavic groups have usually been written about in a filiopietist manner. Edward Kantowicz fills this gap with his incisive work on Poles in Chicago.
Kantowicz examines such questions as why Chicago, with the largest Polish population of any city outside of Poland, has never elected a Polish mayor. The author also examines the origins of the heavily Democratic allegiance of Polish voters. Kantowicz demonstrates that Chicago Poles were voting Democratic long before Al Smith, Franklin Roosevelt, or the New Deal.
Kantowicz has made extensive use of registration lists and voting records to construct a statistical picture of Polish-American voting behavior in Chicago. He draws on church records and census records to provide a detailed description of Chicago´s many Polish neighborhoods. He also has studied the city´s Polish-language press as well as the few manuscript collections left by Polish-American politicians. These collections, together with data gleaned from interviews with individuals who were acquainted with these figures, are used to sketch profiles of the political leaders of Polonia´s capital.
Kantowicz focuses on the goals which the Polish-American community pursued in politics, the issues they deemed important, and the functions which politics served for them. He links this analysis to observations on the homeland and the reasons for which the Poles emigrated. In this context he is able to draw conclusions about the nature of the ethnic politics in general. His work will appeal to avariety of readers: urban and twentieth-century historians, political scientists, and sociologists.

Defying the Inquisition in Colonial New Mexico: Miguel de Quintana´s Life and Writings (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21767656): Miguel de Quintana was among those arriving in New Mexico with Diego de Vargas in 1694. He was active in his village of Santa Cruz de la Canada where he was a notary and secretary to the alcalde mayor, functioning as a quasi-attorney. Being unusually literate, he also wrote personal poetry for himself and religious plays for his community. His conflicted life with local authorities began in 1734, when he was accused of being a heretic. What unfolded was a personal drama of intrigue before the colonial Inquisition. Francisco A Lomeli and Clark Colahan dug deep into Inquisition archives to recover Quintana´s writings, the second earliest in Hispanic New Mexico´s literary heritage. First, they present an essay focused on Church and society in colonial New Mexico and on de Quintana´s life. The second portion is a translation of and critical look at Quintana´s poetry and religious plays. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 37.95 bestellen! |

The Man Who Rode the Tiger: The Life and Times of Judge Samuel Seabury (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21340944): The Man Who Rode the Tiger is the dramatic story of the biggest investigation of political corruption in American municipal history. The ´´Seabury Investigation´´ became a model for federal, state, and city investigations of major officeholders and minor rascals. Samuel Seabury was a patrician New Yorker who was called upon to ride the Tammany Tiger, longtime symbol of crooked politics and influence-peddling. Seabury and his staff of tough young lawyers toppled Mayor Jimmy Walker - the popular Beau James; struck a near-death blow to Tammany Hall; were directly responsible for selecting and electing Fiorello H. LaGuardia as the most popular Mayor in New York history; and helped Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in his campaign for the presidency of the United States. The final confrontation between Judge Seabury and Jimmy Walker was before Governor Roosevelt in Albany. FDR surprised those who thought he was a lightweight - and Tammany instrument - by handling himself beautifully, disengaging himself from Tammany´s grip, and gaining national attention. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 36.95 bestellen! |

Times Square Roulette: Remaking the City Icon (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21592405): In ´´Times Square Roulette´´, Lynne Sagalyn debunks the myth of an overnight urban miracle performed by Disney and Mayor Giuliani, to tell the far more complex and commanding tale of a 20-year process of public controversy, nonstop litigation, and interminable delay. She tells how the troubled execution of the original redevelopment plan provided a rare opportunity to rescript it. And timing was all: the mid-1990s saw rising international corporate interest in the city as a mecca for mass-market entertainment and synergistic merchandising. Sagalyn details the complex relationship between planning and politics and the role of market forces in shaping Times Square´s redevelopment opportunities. She shows how policy was wedded to deal making and how persistent individuals and groups forged both. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |
