Civic Wars: Democracy and Public Life in the American City During the Nineteenth Century
- List Price: $45.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: University of California Press
- Publish date: 01/01/2005
Ryan's analysis is played out on three different levels -- the spatial, the ceremonial, and the political. As she follows the decline of informal democracy from the age of Jackson to the heyday of industrial capitalism, she finds the roots of America's resilient democratic culture in the vigorous, often belligerent urban conflicts that found expression in the social movements, riots, celebrations, and other events that punctuated daily life in these urban centers. With its insightful comparisons, meticulous research, and graceful narrative, this study illustrates the ways in which American cities of the nineteenth century were as full of cultural differences and as fractured by social and economic changes as any metropolis today.
