مستخلص: This essay uses the history of a single urban renewal project, the residential Washington Park project in Roxbury, Boston, to illuminate the multiple ways in which ideas about race and strategies for improving black life helped shape the postwar urban landscape. Focusing on the development and disintegration of black support for renewal, it shows how contrasting ideals of integration and community control helped shape community response to renewal and, indirectly, the production of the built environment itself.

مستخلص: Examining the internal dynamics of three civil disturbances on the West Side of Chicago during the late 1960s, this article describes the presence of numerous people who were not participating in the upheaval. It pays particular attention to “counterrioters,” civilian residents of the neighborhoods and members of local organizations, who tried to persuade those engaging in violence to stop. Local dissent from the tactic of violence suggests that historians should describe these events using the neutral language of social science rather than the politically loaded labels of “riot” or “rebellion.” The article argues that American historians of urban disorders should use the methods of European scholars of the crowd to study the actions of participants in order to ascertain their political content, rather than relying on an examination of their motives.

مستخلص: This article explores three distinct community action agencies (CAAs) created as part of the War on Poverty in Los Angeles and their connection to movements for cultural and economic empowerment. The city's "official" War on Poverty agency eventually collapsed under the weight of intransigence by city officials, differences among black leaders and civil rights activists, and divisions between blacks and Latinos in part fueled by the Black Power and Chicano movements. Meanwhile, African Americans and Latinos used the inspiration of those movements and the support of labor unions to establish separate CAAs Outside of the domain of the "official" War on Poverty agency. Those ethnically distinct "community unions" provided a sense of racial/ethnic/cultural pride and solidarity for Latino and African American neighborhoods and communities in Los Angeles. This article demonstrates how the shifting boundaries of race shaped the development of the War on Poverty in Los Angeles and that the War on Poverty encouraged movements for cultural and economic empowerment.

مستخلص: This article traces the origins of black independent electoral activism in Philadelphia during the 1970s to the Black Power movement of the 1960s. Specifically, it argues that Black Power activists in Philadelphia turned to electoral strategies to consolidate their efforts to achieve community control over public institutions in the city's black working-class neighborhoods. Finally, the article concludes with a brief evaluation of the careers of African American activist state legislators David Richardson and Roxanne Jones and W. Wilson Goode, Philadelphia's first African American mayor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
