An American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago

byAlex Kotlowitz

An American Summer is Alex Kotlowitz's political study of love and Death in Chicago. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of political science and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
