Today, Minneapolis is considered one of the most desirable places to live in the United States. However, like most cities, Minneapolis has its own checkered history. Iric Nathanson shines a light in dark corners of the city's past, exploring corruption that existed between the police department and city hall, brutal suppression of Depression-era unions, and reports on anti-Semitism at midcentury. Still other subjects that on the surface seem disparaging offer the city's residents an opportunity to shine. Community leaders make a difference during the "long, hot summer" of 1967, when racial violence exploded across the country. Concerned neighbors guide transportation policy from more and bigger highways to forward-looking light rail transit. A forgotten riverfront is transformed into a magnet for people wishing to live and play at the site of the city's earliest successes. Nathanson skillfully tells these stories and more, always with an eye toward how noteworthy characters, plotlines, and scenes helped create the Minneapolis we know today. 20th century,americas,education and reference,history,modern (16th-21st centuries),politics and government,politics and social sciences,state,state and local Politics & Social Sciences, Minnesota Historical Society Press<

A story with myriad characters-crooks, community activists, politicians, and bureaucrats-it shows how a small, corrupt city became an honest, progressive urban center. Local readers will be at times uncomfortable with, at times triumphant concerning the city's past, but ultimately they will be enlightened, for the moral of Nathanson's story is that history is a never-ending process.
