CRIME and VIOLENCE in CHICAGO a Geography of Segregation and Structural Disadvantage
CRIME AND VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO a Geography of Segregation and Structural Disadvantage Tim van den Bergh - Master Thesis Human Geography Radboud University, 2018 i Crime and Violence in Chicago: a Geography of Segregation and Structural Disadvantage Tim van den Bergh Student number: 4554817 Radboud University Nijmegen Master Thesis Human Geography Master Specialization: ‘Conflicts, Territories and Identities’ Supervisor: dr. O.T Kramsch Nijmegen, 2018 ii ABSTRACT Tim van den Bergh: Crime and Violence in Chicago: a Geography of Segregation and Structural Disadvantage Engaged with the socio-historical making of space, this thesis frames the contentious debate on violence in Chicago by illustrating how a set of urban processes have interacted to maintain a geography of racialized structural disadvantage. Within this geography, both favorable and unfavorable social conditions are unequally dispersed throughout the city, thereby impacting neighborhoods and communities differently. The theoretical underpinning of space as a social construct provides agency to particular institutions that are responsible for the ‘making’ of urban space in Chicago. With the use of a qualitative research approach, this thesis emphasizes the voices of people who can speak about the etiology of crime and violence from personal experience. Furthermore, this thesis provides a critique of social disorganization and broken windows theory, proposing that these popular criminologies have advanced a problematic normative production of space and impeded effective crime policy and community-police relations. Key words: space, disadvantage, race, crime & violence, Chicago (Under the direction of dr. Olivier Kramsch) iii Table of Contents Chapter 1 - Introduction ..................................................................................................... 1 § 1.1 Studying crime and violence in Chicago .................................................................... 1 § 1.2 Research objective ................................................................................................... -

Sensitivity to the art and designs of the past aids the Interior Designer in adapting them into the crea-_ tion of the contemporary interior, Des.igns of the past can have an integral relationship with contemporary design, Successful designs are those which have survived and have transcended time, Thus, the Interior Designer needs to know the background of a design, the original use of a design, and the period to which a design belongs in order to success fully adapt the design to the contemporary creation of beautyo This study of the shell as a symbolic design motif began with a profound interest in history, a deep love for a serene desert mission. and a probing curiosity concerning an outstanding design used in con -

Abstract From the time of its charter in 1832 the population of the City of Chicago grew explosively and the landscapes of the region were largely transformed both by the expanding physical footprint of the city and by the extensive development of agricul- ture in the hinterlands. This transformation was at the expense of highly biodiverse ecosystems that had been inhabited by populations of indigenous peoples who had themselves been agents in the historical development of the region’s biota. As a consequence of both public and private community planning early in the history of the city, the region retained substantial open space in the city itself and its hinterlands. In this chapter we describe the factors that determined the structure of the biota of Chicago and review recent large-scale attempts to manage the biodiversity of the region. -

Chicago's New Negroes: Consumer Culture and Intellectual Life Reconsidered
New Voices Conference Chicago's New Negroes: Consumer Culture and Intellectual Life Reconsidered Bavarian L. Baldwin "Chicago Has No Intelligentsia"? The term "New Negro" in American history and culture has become a conventional way of referring to the literary and visual artists and intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance. According to cultural critic Alain Locke, the New Negro represented a new generation of masses coming out of the Jim Crow South, "with a new psychology." In direct response to "Negro problem" studies within the emerging social sciences, the New Negro no longer wanted to be seen as a "formula ... to be argued about, condemned, or defended." Locke's 1925 edited anthology, The New Negro: Voices of the Harlem Renaissance, upheld arts and letters as the medium through which a New Negro personality and culture would emerge to counter damaging stereotypes and cultivate relationships between the "enlightened" segments of the races. Ideally, locating the Black "folk" content of spiritual hymns, folktales, dialect, etc. within "civilized" European forms of literacy, composition and verse would uplift Black culture and create a new interracial American cultural modernism. Moreover, Black critics argued that this new "primitive" and "virile" African American aesthetic would challenge the standards of "high" art and culture, while providing a balm from the "soulless" materialism of the industrial age and the "chaos" of urban, working-class, "low" culture.1 0026-3079/2003/4401-12152.50/0 American Studies, 44:1-2 (Spring/Summer 2003):
