Chicago's Southeast Side Revisited
A Pictorial History
by Rod Sellers
A second pictorial
history of
Chicago’s Southeast Side tells the story of our most 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. The book looks at how the community dealt with problems
like fire, depression, wars, pollution, and the decline of heavy
industry, especially the steel industry. The struggle
between
economic development and protection of the natural environment is also
part of the story.
The book includes 231
pictures,
maps, and other images from the collections of the Southeast Historical
Museum and from the author’s personal collections. Many of the
images
come from the slide and negative collections of the Museum and have not
previously been available to the public.
Chicago’s Southeast Side Revisited is being published
by Arcadia
Press, publisher of numerous pictorial histories of local communities
throughout
the United States. The initial printing will include 2,100
copies.
This is the second book about our community. The first, Chicago’s
Southeast Side, was one of Arcadia’s best sellers, and has sold over
11,000
copies thus far. Dominic Pacyga and Rod Sellers were co-authors
of
the first book.
