Once you start, you just can't stop." ~Harold Washington, Mayor of Chicago ~ Politics is king in Chicago. There is no other royalty. The 1983 Chicago Democratic mayoral primary and subsequent general election demonstrated the city's roughhouse style of politics at its best and worst. Like any good story, Chicago's 1983 mayoral race had an intriguing cast of characters. The incumbent was Jane M. Byrne, Chicago's first woman mayor. Four years previously this feisty and determined campaigner successfully contested the powerful local Democratic organization that had nurtured her. Once in office she made peace with her old pals and then proceeded to give Chicagoans a roller~coaster administration filled with ups and downs, flip~flops, and incredible twists and turns. Challenging Byrne were State's Attorney Richard M. Daley, the son of Chicago's legendary mayor/boss Richard J. Daley, and Congressman Harold Washington, a black leader from the city's South Side. Both men had their reasons for taking on the incumbent and each benefited from a hardcore racial and geographical support base. Waiting in the wings was Republican State Representative Bernard Epton , a little~known politician who was given slight chance of being Chicago's first GOP mayor in over 50 years. What happened to these combatants is the story of The Making of the Mayor: Chicago 1983. By pulling together a diverse group of highly qualified authors, the book sheds light on the volatile issues of race and religion, machine and reform, polls and media, which played a crucial role in what was perhaps the most expensive local election in American history. The result of this hard~fought race. contested in the national spotlight, has not only altered life in Chicago, but has had an impact on politics across the country. In the end, Chicago had its first black mayor, and many old~time political pros were left to speculate on the practical implications for Chicago and the future of machine politics. One thing is certain, however: politics is alive and well in this most political of American cities. N° de réf. du vendeur 8151201
