Book Synopsis What Parish Are You From? by : Eileen M. McMahon
Download or read book What Parish Are You From? written by Eileen M. McMahon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Irish Americans as well as for Chicago's other ethnic groups, the local parish once formed the nucleus of daily life. Focusing on the parish of St. Sabina's in the southwest Chicago neighborhood of Auburn-Gresham, Eileen McMahon takes a penetrating look at the response of Catholic ethnics to life in twentieth-century America. She reveals the role the parish church played in achieving a cohesive and vital ethnic neighborhood and shows how ethno-religious distinctions gave way to racial differences as a central point of identity and conflict. For most of this century the parish served as an important mechanism for helping Irish Catholics cope with a dominant Protestant-American culture. Anti-Catholicism in the society at large contributed to dependency on parishes and to a desire for separateness from the American mainstream. As much as Catholics may have wanted to insulate themselves in their parish communities, however, Chicago demographics and the fluid nature of the larger society made this ultimately impossible. Despite efforts at integration attempted by St. Sabina's liberal clergy, white parishioners viewed black migration into their neighborhood as a threat to their way of life and resisted it even as they relocated to the suburbs. The transition from white to black neighborhoods and parishes is a major theme of twentieth-century urban history. The experience of St. Sabina's, which changed from a predominantly Irish parish to a vibrant African-American Catholic community, provides insights into this social trend and suggests how the interplay between faith and ethnicity contributes to a resistance to change.

Book Synopsis Building Chicago's Subways by : David Sadowski
Download or read book Building Chicago's Subways written by David Sadowski and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the elevated Chicago Loop is justly famous as a symbol of the city, the fascinating history of its subways is less well known. The City of Chicago broke ground on what would become the "Initial System of Subways" during the Great Depression and finished 20 years later. This gigantic construction project, a part of the New Deal, would overcome many obstacles while tunneling through Chicago's soft blue clay, under congested downtown streets, and even beneath the mighty Chicago River. Chicago's first rapid transit subway opened in 1943 after decades of wrangling over routes, financing, and logistics. It grew to encompass the State Street, Dearborn-Milwaukee, and West Side Subways, with the latter modernizing the old Garfield Park "L" into the median of Chicago's first expressway. Take a trip underground and see how Chicago's "I Will" spirit overcame challenges and persevered to help with the successful building of the subways that move millions. Building Chicago's subways was national news and a matter of considerable civic pride--making it a "Second City" no more

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to Chicago's commemorative honors. The who, where, when, and why of honorary streets, days, and other recognitions.---Who or what is a WOOGM and why is there a Chicago alley named for it?This is the question I asked myself one summer day more than a decade ago as I looked up at the brown background and white letters signs flanked with four white stars. What are all these brown honorary signs around the city; and who are these people, places and things being honored?Why was July 28, 2013 Chaka Khan Day in Chicago? Who was Abraham Lincoln Marovitz?My curiosity became a quest for the answer. I have created the most complete compilation of honorary streets, days, tributes and congratulations, for the Honorary Chicago series. Discover what makes Chicago "the world's largest small town."This book is organized by neighborhood can be used as a tour book of Chicago's honorary streets, it contains additional historical and biographic information regarding honorary days and commemorations. This edition represents only a fraction of what I have developed for the Honorary Chicago record. There are far more points on the maps than are included in the book and that some of the signs, buildings, locations, and landmarks no longer exist. All are chronicled by Honorary Chicago, lest they be lost to history – again.Proceeds from this book will help support further research and updates.
