Bosses and Reformers
The story of urban politics in the years between 1880 and 1920 has all too often been perceived, by journalistic muckrakers and academic historians alike, as a ceaseless struggle between bosses and reformers, with the reformers winning out in the end.

Urban Citizenship and American Democracy
After decades of being defined by crisis and limitations, cities are popular again—as destinations for people and businesses, and as subjects of scholarly study. Urban Citizenship and American Democracy contributes to this new scholarship by exploring the origins and dynamics of urban citizenship in the United States.
