From Library Journal
This volume is a memoir of the administration of the first black mayor of Chicago. The contributors were recruited from among those appointed by Mayor Washington to implement his programs and those who became part of the new politics. The authors were intimately involved in Chicago's transition from the machine politics of Richard Daley to the neighborhood-oriented Washington administration. The essays are rich in detail and convey strong impressions of the political atmosphere of the time. They deal with issues of economic development and citizen involvement. This volume will be of interest to community activists and government officials, as well as to scholars in urban-related fields and the informed lay reader.
