Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief: The Great Chicago Fire, the Haymarket Bomb, and the Model Town of Pullman, Second Edition
Smith looks at three major events in 19th century Chicago ' the Chicago fire, a once-infamous anarchist bombing, and businessman George Pullman building a model suburb for his workers ' to show how American society and its elites grappled with fears that cities were inherently and dangerously disorderly. Immigrants. The working class (who were assumed to be inferior in morals and culture to the middle-class). Criminals. Unions. Socialists. To the city's business leaders, they were all avatars of an underlying uncontrollable mob, so dangerous it justified using military force or Pullman's rather Big Brotherly town to put them under control. The theme of how people concive of and interpret disorder fascinates me; if the topic isn't for you, the book probably isn't either.
