The Chicago Companion to Tocqueville's Democracy in America

The Chicago Companion to Tocqueville's Democracy in America

James T. Schleifer

University of Chicago Press
2012
sidottu
One of the greatest books ever to be written on the United States, "Democracy in America" continues to find new readers who marvel at the lasting insights Alexis de Tocqueville had into our nation and its political culture. The work, however, is as challenging as it is important; its arguments can be complex and subtle, and its sheer length can make it difficult for any reader, especially one coming to it for the first time, to grasp Tocqueville's meaning. "The Chicago Companion" to Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" is the first book written expressly to help general readers and students alike get the most out of this seminal work. James T. Schleifer, an expert on Tocqueville, has provided the background and information readers need in order to understand Tocqueville's masterwork. In clear and engaging prose, Schleifer explains why "Democracy in America" is so important, how it came to be written, and how different generations of Americans have interpreted it since its publication. Drawing upon his intimate knowledge of Tocqueville's papers and manuscripts, Schleifer reveals how Tocqueville's ideas took shape and changed even in the course of writing the book. Schleifer also provides a detailed glossary of key terms and passages, all accompanied by generous citations to the relevant pages in the University of Chicago Press' Mansfield/Winthrop translation. "The Chicago Companion" will serve generations of readers as an essential guide to both the man and his work.

Alexis de Tocqueville, a French aristocrat paradoxically famous for his insights into democracy and equality, is one of history’s greatest analysts of American society and politics. His contributions to political theory and sociology are of enduring significance. This book, from one of the world’s leading experts, is a clearly written and accessible introduction to Tocqueville’s social and political theories. Schleifer guides readers through his two major works, Democracy in America (1835/40) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856), as well as his working papers, correspondence, and other writings. Schleifer examines Tocqueville’s essential themes and explores the various meanings of his key terms, including equality, democracy, liberty, and revolution. He combines a skillful exposition of Tocqueville’s analysis of the beneficial and harmful consequences of democracy with a crystal clear discussion of his often overlooked economic ideas and social reform proposals. Schleifer traces both the overall unity and the significant changes in Tocqueville’s ideas, demonstrating the complexity and subtlety of his thought and the importance of his legacy. It will be essential reading for all scholars, students, and general readers interested in the history of political thought, political theory, American politics, and sociology.

James T. Farrell and Baseball

James T. Farrell and Baseball

Charles DeMotte

University of Nebraska Press
2019

James T. Farrell and Baseball is a social history of baseball on Chicago’s South Side, drawing on the writings of novelist James T. Farrell along with historical sources. Charles DeMotte shows how baseball in the early decades of the twentieth century developed on all levels and in all areas of Chicago, America’s second largest city at the time, and how that growth intertwined with Farrell’s development as a fan and a writer who used baseball as one of the major themes of his work. DeMotte goes beyond Farrell’s literary focus to tell a larger story about baseball on Chicago’s South Side during this time-when Charles Comiskey’s White Sox won two World Series and were part of a rich baseball culture that was widely played at the amateur, semipro, and black ball levels. DeMotte highlights the 1919–20 Black Sox fix and scandal, which traumatized not only Farrell and Chicago but also baseball and the broader culture. By tying Farrell’s fictional and nonfictional works to Chicago’s vibrant baseball history, this book fills an important gap in the history of baseball during the Deadball Era.

Finally, the phoenix rises to bring his 27 years of experience rebuilding America's low income communities to the desk of President Donald Trump. Webb offers President Trump his 27 years of insight on how to REBUILD America's low income African American and other poor communities. Read the real life legal saga of Master Builder James T. Webb as he shows the President and the American people that struggles, challenges, and benefits of REBUILDING America's poorest and most frail communities in a very unique Real Estate Market. Webb makes his methods in The WAHM (Webb Affordable Housing Model) available to the Trump administration to help finally bring the CHANGE that America's poor communities have been waiting on for the past 100 years. While it has not been easy, Webb has purchased, renovated and sold close to 1000 previously vacant and condemned homes in these communities. (Many scheduled for demolition) But Webb stopped the demolition and put the citizens within the same communities to work REBUILDING their homes. In creating 10s of thousands of short term contract jobs, Webb helped to positively change the lives of the workers. While the benefits of rebuilding those communities are without limit, the social, political, regulatory, and legal challenges {though unnecessary} and many times very unfair, can break the spirits of the best men and women who attempt to bring the needed change. However, for Webb, despite the blood on his brow, his vision for these communities is unchanged and very clear. Webb believes that now and with President Trump in the White House, these communities can finally become greater than they have ever been over the past 100 years. Webb offers his assistance to President Trump in this unique and troubled Real Estate market. In his last book," Economic Justice", Webb asked the many stockholders in America that he knew to "HOLD ON", that "HELP IS ON THE WAY" Fellow Americans, that time has come. It is time to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
