This text argues that in the post-depression years, Chicago was a
"pioneer in developing concepts and devices" for housing
segregation. The book shows that the legal framework for the
national urban renewal efforts was forged in the heat generated by
the racial struggles waged on Chicago's South Side. Its chronicle
of the strategies used by ethnic, political and business interests
in reaction to the great migration of southern blacks in the 1940s
describes how the violent reaction of an emergent "white"
population combined with public policy to segregate the city.
