The ethnicgroups which are investigated include Poles, Irish, Italians, and Jews. An ethnic person is defined as anyone who decides to identify with and live among those who share the same immigrant memories and values. Ethnic origin, ethnic loyalties, and ethnic considerations playan important role in the political process of the United States. A separate chapter focuses on each of the four minority groups and its role in the process of American politics. Jews, labeled as the shaken liberals, have historically been staunch supporters of the liberal tradition as a unified voter block, but apparent conservative trends are showing as a reaction to radical liberalism and its support of the Arab nations. The Irish built and dominated political organizations, known as machines, in several cities and their predominance in city politics continues today. Italians'were rather slow in getting into politics, but in general Italiansare politically conservative, strong American patriots, disunited due to internal identity conflicts, and assimilating rapidly into U.S.

  • Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
    James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community.

DePue: We are with Governor Edgar again, and we just got you to the position of legislative liaison for Governor Thompson. So I thought it was appropriate—and we’ve talked about Thompson quite a bit—to take a step back and have you just discuss, a little bit, his political career and how he ended up being governor; and then we’ll go into some of the specifics about the relationship that you had with Governor Thompson. Edgar: Jim Thompson had grown up in the Chicago area. I think he grew up in Oak Park— Oak Park? DePue: Oak Forest? Edgar: No, it is Oak Park, yeah.

  • Charles Chiakulas Papers
    ■ THE CHARLES CHIAKULAS COLLECTION 59 Manuscript Boxes 4 Newspaper Boxes Processed: 1968-1969 Accession No. 295 By: DM The papers of Charles Chiakulas were deposited with the Labor History Archives on June 11, 1968. Charles Chiakulas was born in Chicago, on Dec. 5, 1917, the son of Greek immigrants. He received his formal education in Chicago, graduating from Crane Technical High School and attending Wright Junior College. While in high school, he also attended Greek school classes, and was able to speak, read and write Greek. In 1940 he became active in the AFL Retail Clerks Union. His first industrial job was at Revere Copper and Brass Company, and he became a steward in Local 477, UAW-AFL. After holding several positions with this union, he became its president in 1944, and led the union into the UAW-CIO. After three years as president, he became an International Representative, doing organizing work and contract negotiation in Region 4. Subsequently he worked on the Competitive Shops staff, and on Farm Equipment. In 1956 he became Assistant Director of the UAW Borg-Warner Department. At the request of Walter Reuther, Chiakulas was sent to Cyprus as a special envoy for the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Here he was to assist the Cyprus Workers Confederation, also known as SEK, in "trying to organize Cypriot workers into the free trade union movement, and to assist them in making representations on the Cyprus colonial government for the release of a number of trade union leaders being detained for their activities in support of their fight for independence from British colonial rule".

THE BIPARTISAN BAYH AMENDMENT: REPUBLICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT Joel K. Goldstein* It is appropriate that Senator Birch Bayh has been widely recognized as the author and person most responsible for the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. His work was indispensable, and he was helped by other Democrats and nonpartisan actors including the American Bar Association and John D. Feerick, among others. Yet the Amendment was also the product of bipartisan cooperation. Important provisions were based on work done during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Eisenhower and his Attorney General, Herbert Brownell, played important roles in supporting Bayh’s proposal as did other Republicans in and out of Congress. Republicans like Representative Richard Poff pushed ideas and provisions that found their way into the Amendment, helped create important legislative history, and contributed in the legislative process.

ETHNIC POLITICAL POWER IN A MACHINE CITY Chicago's Poles at Rainbow's End TOMASZ INGLOT University of Wisconsin-Madison JOHN P. PELISSERO Loyola University Chicago Machine politics in Chicago has been described as a successful example of exchange theory in which political party members received benefits in return for loyalty to the party. In 1988, Erie rejected the rainbow theory of machine politics, arguing that the Irish received the lion's share of political benefits while other white-ethnic groups, such as Poles, were given limited and often symbolic rewards. These authors show that Chicago's Poles were not fully incorporated into the rainbow of groups that benefited from and supported the machine.
