“Forty Years of the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago” by Dick Simpson (May-June 2006 P&R Issue)

June 1, 2006 by

By Dick Simpson (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) Forty years ago, the civil rights marches burst upon the scene in Chicago. Within a year, there was a summit agreement of sorts between Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mayor Richard J. Daley. Many at the time saw the agreement as a sham and simply a way for Dr. King to leave town and take the movement other places … [Read more...] about “Forty Years of the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago” by Dick Simpson (May-June 2006 P&R Issue)

“We Must Acknowledge How Poor People Live” by Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh (January-February 2005 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2005 by

By Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) Polikoff offers a persuasive proposal to dismantle America’s ghettos. I leave to others a critique of its technocratic merits. Instead, I address the sociological underpinning, as it is a most elegant rendition of the liberal hymn for social justice.
