Eric Fure-Slocum teaches History and American Studies at St Olaf College. His research and writing focuses on twentieth-century US urban and working-class history, with an interest in the shaping of American political culture and the political economy.
Focusing on mid-century Milwaukee, Eric Fure-Slocum charts the remaking of political culture in the industrial city of the 1940s.
Introduction: contesting democracy: working-class and growth politics in the city; 1. Milwaukee: a mid-twentieth-century working-class city; 2. New Deal legacies and wartime urgencies: housing politics, private enterprise, and public authority; 3. Wartime gambling, working-class leisure, and urban reform: 'why do our boys have to fight if we can't play bingo?'; 4. A militant CIO vision for city democracy: power, security, and egalitarianism; 5. Debt, growth, and democracy in the early postwar city; 6. Housing the postwar city: crowding, race, and policy; 7. Public housing, redevelopment, and urban citizenship: the 1951 referendum fight; Epilogue: revising postwar democracy: a city with class.
