About this book

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.
