Perspectives on Milwaukee's Past

"Anderson and Greene's collection offers a compelling case for the broader national significance of Milwaukee as a site of historical research. This book not only sheds light on Milwaukee's history from its pre-industrial origins through the era of deindustrialization, but also surveys shifting historiographical trends in the scholarly and popular treatment of the city's history."--Joe William Trotter Jr., author of Black Milwaukee: The Making of an Industrial Proletariat, 1915-45 "Examining diverse aspects of Milwaukee's history, the contributors to this wide-ranging collection offer a rich portrait of the city's past. Anderson and Greene have assembled a stimulating volume that contributes significantly to cultural and social history and to the study of urbanism, planning, and public policy."--Nora Faires, author of Permeable Border: The Great Lakes Basin as Transnational Region, 1650-1990
