The American Urban Reader, Second Edition, brings together the most
exciting and cutting-edge work on the history of urban forms and
ways of life in the evolution of the United States, from
pre-colonial Native American Indian cities, colonial European
settlements, and western expansion, to rapidly expanding
metropolitan regions, the growth of suburbs, and post-industrial
cities. Each chapter is arranged chronologically and thematically
around scholarly essays from historians, social scientists, and
journalists, and is supplemented by relevant primary documents that
offer more nuanced perspectives and convey the diversity and
interdisciplinary nature of the study of the urban condition.
Building upon the success of the First Edition, and responding to
increasingly polarized national discourse in the era of Donald
Trump's presidency, The American Urban Reader, Second Edition,
highlights both the historical urban/rural divide and the
complexity and deeply woven salience of race and ethnic relations
in American history. Lisa Krissoff Boehm and Steven H. Corey, who
together hold forty-five years of classroom experience in urban
studies and history, have selected a range of work that is
dynamically written and carefully edited to be accessible to
students and appropriate for anyone seeking a deeper understanding
of how American cities have developed.
