520    "Heralded as America's most quintessentially modern city, 
       Chicago has attracted the gaze of journalists, novelists, 
       essayists, and scholars as much as any city in the nation.
       And, yet, few historians have attempted big-picture 
       narratives of the city's transformation over the twentieth
       century. Chicago on the Make traces the evolution of the 
       city's politics, culture, and economy as it grew from an 
       unruly tangle of rail yards, slaughterhouses, factories, 
       tenement houses, and fiercely defended ethnic 
       neighborhoods into a truly global urban center. 
       Reinterpreting the familiar narrative that Chicago's 
       autocratic machine politics shaped its institutions and 
       public life, Andrew J. Diamond demonstrates how the 
       grassroots politics of race crippled progressive forces 
       and enabled an alliance of downtown business interests to 
       promote a neoliberal agenda that created the stark 
       inequalities that ravage the city today. Chicago on the 
       Make takes the story into the twenty-first century, 
       chronicling Chicago's deeply entrenched social and urban 
       problems as the city ascended to the national stage during
       the Obama years"--Provided by publisher.
