This work illustrates stark racial inequality in and around contemporary global (corporate-neoliberal) Chicago. It also explains apartheid and disparity in terms of persistently and deeply racist societal and institutional practices and policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRace and racism have a continuing and profound influence in shaping all aspects of American life. Racial Oppression in the Global Metropolis not only captures the pernicious impact racism has as an ideological and structural force, but illuminates with clarity, power, and imagination the way in which it is lived and struggled over at the level of daily life. Street has produced what may be one of the most important accounts of both the causes and effects of racism amid vast material inequities in one of America's most important cities. Paul Street has become an essential figure as a critical commentator on race in the United States. This book should be read by everyone who believes in racial justice, democracy, and hope for the future. -- Henry A. Giroux, McMaster University Chair for Scholarship in the Public Interest\u003cbr\u003ea bracing look at what has and has not changed in Chicago, Racial Oppression in the Global Metropolis is worth the time. * Colorlines *\u003cbr\u003ePaul Street has long written some of the most compelling studies of race and class in Chicago history. At the same time he has produced critical material on how structural racism works today and on how public policies and social movements can produce hope and change. This marvelous book brings past and present together, showing just how the glitter of global Chicago rests on and reproduces injustice. -- David Roediger, Babcock Professor of History and African American Studies, University of Illinois, and author of History Against Misery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 It'll Take More Than a Hurricane: Race, Place, Chicago and America's \"Enduring Shame\" Chapter 2 Whitewashing \"Global Chicago\": Racial Invisibility in the Neoliberal Era Chapter 3 The First and Only True Ghetto Chapter 4 The Second, \"Golden Age\" Ghetto Chapter 5 The Nadir: The Third and Apocalyptic Ghetto and the Retreat   From Race Chapter 6 Metropolitan Apartheid Chapter 7 Savage Inequalities Chapter 8 What's \"Racism\" Got to Do With It?
