After the Shock City: Urban Culture and the Making of Modern Citizenship

Tom Hulme

4.9/5 (16801 ratings)

Description:Using the industrial cities of Manchester and Chicago as case studies, the book traces the idea of "citizenship" across different areas of local life - from philosophy and festivals to historical re-enactment and public housing. Coalitions of voluntary associations, municipal government and local elites lambasted modern urban culture as the cause of social disintegration. But rather than simply decanting the population to new and smaller settlements they tried to re-imagine a reformed city as a place that could foster loyal and healthy communities. Celebrating civic progress in the period since the "shock city" of the nineteenth century, they sought to create a sense of local pride that could bracket growing class and racial tensions. The diverse individuals, groups and communities of the city reacted in different ways to this message. Some jumped on board, happy to gather under the identity of one civic banner. Others, held back by discriminatory structures of society, chose to shape their own idea of citizenship - one that looked far beyond the city for a sense of belonging and rights.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
