The Public City: The Political Construction of Urban Life in San Francisco, 1850-1900University of California Press, 06.07.2001 - 464 Seiten Philip J. Ethington challenges the assumptions of several decades of urban history that treat American urban politics as the expression of social-group community experience. Instead, he maintains in The Public City, social-group identities of race, class, ethnicity, and gender were politically constructed in the public sphere in the process of political mobilization and journalistic discourse. |
