Item Description
What better time to delve into some incredible stories about Chicago and its politics! Dick Simpson generously donated autographed copies of his books:
The Good Fight: Life Lessons from a Chicago Progressive - A breath of fresh air in today's divisive political climate, Simpson's memoir teaches important lessons in real-world politics. He reminds us not to get so caught up in the fight that we forget what we're fighting for. Striking the perfect balance between historical context, autobiography, and lessons learned, Simpson chronicles what worked, what didn't, and why.
Twenty-First Century Chicago - investigates the social, economic, political, and governmental conditions of Chicago in this century. While traditional anthologies on urban politics comprise stilted journal articles that place far too much emphasis on statistics, this anthology adopts a unique approach. Although it does incorporate the writings of preeminent scholars on the city of Chicago, the focus is on first-hand accounts: speeches by politicians, newspaper stories, editorials by journalists, memoirs and biographies and little known research reports advocating change.
Chicago's Modern Mayors: from Harold Washington to Lori Lightfoot - Chicago's transformation into a global city began at City Hall. Dick Simpson and Betty O'Shaughnessy edit in-depth analyses of the five mayors that guided the city through this transition beginning with Harold Washington’s 1983 election.
