{"product_id":"cicero-betty-carlson-kay-9781531604912","title":"Cicero: The First Suburb West","description":"Mention the town of Cicero just about anywhere in the world, and you may receive two responses: first, a mimed tommy-gun pointed at you, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties when Al Capone ran the town; second, a comment about Cicero's racial intolerance. Although the old Capone hangouts are mostly gone, and the town's racial makeup is \u003cbr\u003echanging, those old stereotypes linger. Cicero: The First Suburb West tells the story of this \u003cbr\u003evibrant community and its links to the past--including its connections to Western Electric and the tragic Eastland disaster. The Hispanic families that are making their homes in Cicero today mirror the Slavic immigrants who settled here a century ago. Their goal was, and is, to provide safe and affordable housing for their families, and pursue the \"American Dream.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betty Carlson Kay, Kay Becky Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531604919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531604912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Betty Carlson Kay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987819004159,"sku":"9781531604912","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f922e857-79c2-45f6-922d-3d3615aed10f.jpg?v=1683291155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cicero-betty-carlson-kay-9781531604912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
