Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes substantially to urban affairs and public policy literature by presenting an introduction to the complex politics and public policy issues of Washington, D.C. The uniqueness of the city, as elaborated in this volume, provides background for understanding the non-traditional congressional relationship with the city and the way in which this establishes and perpetuates the continuing fight for congressional representation, real home rule and equitable federal benefits for citizens of the District of Columbia. Usually becoming a mayor, member of a city council, or agency head in a major city could become a stepping stone to higher office. In Washington, D.C. however, this has not been the case. Contests for political leadership operate in a unique political climate because Washington, D.C is the capital of the U.S., subject to congressional oversight, has a majority African American population, and has a majority Democratic population. Those who become mayor are therefore, confined to play a local with rare opportunities for a national role. One Objective of this volume is to highlight the difficulties of experiencing political democracy and adequate policy distribution by citizens of the District of Columbia. These analyses conclude that one of the major obstacles to these objectives is the manner in which home rule was constructed and persists, leading to the conclusion that the desire of citizens and their leaders for change is well founded.

Book excerpt: In The Nation and Its City Alan Lessoff tells the story of how the politicians, federal officials, and business leaders of Gilded Age Washington created for the United States a capital city worthy to stand with - and even rival - Paris, London, and Berlin. Lessoff examines the remarkable building projects and sweeping governmental reorganizations that dramatically changed the geography and physical appearance, as well as the political and economic character, of the District of Columbia. In this first study of the politics and policy-making behind the creation of "modern" Washington, Lessoff explores a city that would seem an exception to the usual rules of urban development, one without industry and commercial growth to drive it. He argues, however, that this absence of typical economic interests allows a particularly clear view of politics and urban issues in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Explaining how government in post-Civil War Washington promoted prosperity, established aesthetic standards, protected health and safety, managed race relations, and resolved federal-local conflicts, Lessoff reveals the true character of American politics and policy-making in the period as never before.

Book excerpt: Who, Why, What, Where and When these are important questions that you want to know about Washington, DC. This book incorporates the city's historical background and the who- the people associated with the various sites. It also gives you the contextual origins the why of what can now be seen. It explores in stories in each era of the interaction of geography the where and history the when; the place and the effects of politics on that place exemplified by outstanding buildings of each era that can still be seen today. Let author Mark N. Ozer give you a personal tour. The reader is guided through maps of each era described in chapters starting in the 1790s as the Seat of Government of the Revolutionary Generation; from the 1830s onward as the straggly Ante-Bellum Federal City; and finally during the 1860s when the Civil War, Reconstruction and Gilded Age made it truly the National Capital. Following its centennial in 1900, during the Progressive era and then New Deal, the Capital became the American shrine; and after World War II, by the time of its bicentennial in 2000, it became the International Capital and a Regional City. "Thoughtful and useful guide to the current city. Skillful demonstration on how the city's history and geography interact to capture the political philosophy of the American Experiment." Donald Kennon, Vice-President for Scholarship and Education U.S. Capitol Historical Society "A compact history and guide, it places the sights in a uniquely informative historical context." Carl Abbott, Professor of Urban Studies, Portland State University and author of "Political Terrains."
