Bringing the Civic Back In: Zane L. Miller and American Urban History: Urban Life, Landscape and Policy
Editat de Larry Bennett, John D. Fairfield, Patricia Mooney Melvin Cuvânt înainte de David Stradlingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2022
Bringing the Civic Back In provides a critical overview, appreciation, and extension of Miller’s work as scholar, editor, mentor, colleague, and citizen. Included are three excerpts from Miller’s final, unfinished work, in which he presented cities as the source of a civic nationalism he viewed as fundamental to the development of American democracy. The editors—along with contributors Robert B. Fairbanks and Charles Lester—reflect on the life and work of their friend as well as his role in creating a Cincinnati school of urban history. These original essays by practitioners of Miller’s approach highlight the power of ideas to shape social change.

Recenzii
"[This book] should be appreciated both for the soundness of the scholarship that went into the pieces and as an affectionate and thoughtful memorial to the man who inspired them. Whether cities today can help us rekindle the spirit of 'civic nationalism' that were instrumental in creating remains to be seen. But these authors clearly hope they will, an aspiration they inherited from their mentor and colleague."—Journal of Urban Affairs
