Bitter Fruit: Black Politics and the Chicago Machine, 1931-1991 - Paperback

by William J. Grimshaw (Author)

William Grimshaw offers an insider's chronicle of the tangled relationship between the black community and the Chicago Democratic machine from its Great Depression origins to 1991. What emerges is a myth-busting account not of a monolithic organization but of several distinct party regimes, each with a unique relationship to black voters and leaders.
