Today, the people of South Chicago, South Deering, the East Side, and Hegewisch look to the future.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe community initially developed because of the steel industry, but it has been affected by the decline of the American steel industry in recent years. The community is, in many respects, at a crossroads. Will economic redevelopment occur, and if it does, at what price? Will the ecology and environment, damaged by years of abuse and neglect, be restored and protected?This second book about the region tells the story of this interesting and vibrant Chicago community from a chronological approach. It looks at important themes of American history from the perspective of this urban, working-class community. Industrialization, urbanization, unionization, immigration, and Americanization were themes that played out on the Southeast Side of Chicago. It examines how the community dealt with problems like depression, wars, pollution, and the decline of heavy industry-especially the steel industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rod Sellers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738519308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738519302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.48w x 0.34d","brand":"Rod Sellers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925774434559,"sku":"9780738519302","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ede9fadc-0f02-4b25-857b-107600f5fe0c.jpg?v=1681079276","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chicagos-southeast-side-revisited-rod-sellers-9780738519302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
