Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the 1860s and 1920s, Chicago's working-class immigrants designed the American dream of home-ownership. They imagined homes as small businesses, homes that were simultaneously a consumer-oriented respite from work and a productive space that workers hoped to control. Stretching out of town along with Chicago's assembly-line factories, Chicago's early suburbs were remarkably socially and economically diverse. They were marketed by real estate developers and urban boosters with the elusive promise that homeownership might offer some bulwark against the vicissitudes of industrial capitalism, that homes might be "better than a bank for a poor man" and "the working man's reward." This promise evolved into what Lewinnek terms "the mortgages of whiteness," the hope that property values might increase if that property could be kept white. Suburbs also developed through nineteenth-century notions of the gendered respectability of domesticity, early ideas about city planning and land economics, and an evolving twentieth-century discourse about the racial attributes of property values. Looking at the persistent challenges of racial difference, economic inequality, and private property ownership that were present in urban design and planning from the start, Lewinnek argues that white Americans' attachment to property and community were not simply reactions to post-1945 Civil Rights Movement and federally enforced integration policies. Rather, Chicago's mostly immigrant working class bought homes, seeking an elusive respectability and class mobility, and trying to protect their property values against what they perceived as African American threats, which eventually flared in violent racial conflict. The Working Man's Reward examines the roots of America's suburbanization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, showing how Chicagoans helped form America's urban sprawl.

Download or read book The New Man of the House written by Brian Gibson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern-day suburb began, and began booming, in 19th-century Britain. As suburbia spread, the New Woman arose and fin-de-siecle concerns grew, suburban men felt more besieged. Anxieties about hygiene, pollution, purity, the home, class, gender roles, patrilineal power and the state of the Empire rippled through British fiction. The new man of the house was trying, often desperately, to hold onto the old order, changing even more rapidly as the 20th century and modernist fiction arrived. This study traces suburban masculinities in popular genres--speculative fiction, comic fiction and detective fiction--and in literary works from the late-Victorian era to the start of the First World War.
Download or read book Ball Sports written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball sports were almost exclusively a male pursuit until women began to participate in the late 19th century, most notably in basketball, golf and tennis. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series showcases over 100 articles (134,000 words) written by women from 1882 to 1900, accompanied by 100 illustrations. Basketball, invented in 1891, rapidly gained popularity among women, with high school and intercollegiate matches sparking nationwide interest. The exclusion of men as spectators in some venues (due to women playing in scandalous bloomers) fostered intrigue, while in other regions both genders watched women play without segregation. The 49 articles about basketball from 1894 to 1900 include coverage of the first intercollegiate games, 13 articles spotlighting Clara Gregory Baer's pioneering role in basketball in Louisiana, and the short story The Emotions of a Sub-Guard written by a graduate of Smith College. Golf was primarily a pastime for the wealthy elite due to the cost of equipment and course maintenance at private country clubs. The sport witnessed a massive surge in women's involvement, marked by the inauguration of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship in 1895. Tennis also flourished, spawning national tournaments in the late 1880s, driving women's dress reform to abandon restrictive clothing to permit freedom of movement, and adopting colorful styles of the now ubiquitous tennis shoes. Articles about baseball, billiards, bowling, cricket, field hockey, football and soccer provide a comprehensive overview of women's engagement with popular ball games during this era. Several obscure and antiquated ball sports are also included in this collection, providing a fascinating glimpse into an array of ball games that never gained widespread popularity. Ball sports are also featured in four other volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Helen Dauvray, The Actress Who Loved Baseball; Ella Black, The First Woman Baseball Correspondent; Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar; and Diana’s Ball Sports. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book excerpt: Full Color (CMYK) Edition.This is the reconstructed history of Bond Hill, currently a neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, originally founded just after the Civil War as a railroad suburb on the urban fringe of the most densely populated city on the planet. How did teetotalers, cooperators, railroad moguls, real estate brokers, and radical socialists pool their energies to found a new society and build affordable housing for "men of moderate means"? How did church politics and other critical events shape the social and environmental transformation of a once rural community? This history provides a complete survey of the Bond Hill area, from the post-Colonial period through the Village of Bond Hill's annexation by the City of Cincinnati in 1903, up until the present day.
