Struggling with our demons and heroes
Abstract
Despite their differences, all my interlocutors agree on one thing: urban scholars need to engage with the Chicago School. If the question is not whether urban scholars should engage the Chicago sociologists, the question is how to do so. How should we relate to the heroes and demons of our field? And what if our heroes are also our demons?
