Buildings once symbolized Chicago's place as the business capital
of Black America and a thriving hub for Black media. In this
groundbreaking work, E. James West examines the city's Black press
through its relationship with the built environment. As a house for
the struggle, the buildings of publications like Ebony and the
Chicago Defender embodied narratives of racial uplift and community
resistance. As political hubs, gallery spaces, and public squares,
they served as key sites in the ongoing Black quest for
self-respect, independence, and civic identity. At the same time,
factors ranging from discriminatory business practices to editorial
and corporate ideology prescribed their location, use, and
appearance, positioning Black press buildings as sites of both
Black possibility and racial constraint. Engaging and innovative, A
House for the Struggle reconsiders the Black press's place at the
crossroads where aspiration collided with life in one of America's
most segregated cities.
