The article describes the role of the Chicago School of Sociology in the development of empirical social research. It traces the increase in the significance of the education of doctoral students on American universities at the turn of the 20th century, and the role of philanthropic foundations. It focuses on the contribution of prominent individuals: W. R. Harper, rector and founder of the University of Chicago, obtained top figures and founded journals in some major fields. A. W. Small was the first chair of the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, founded the American Journal of Sociology and wrote the first two textbooks of sociology. W. I. Thomas was responsible for the famous study Polish Peasant in Europe and America and for the theoretical foundations passed on to his successors. In 1916 R. E. Park published a project in which Chicago became a social laboratory and he inspired and was an advisor for numerous doctoral projects that later were published as sociological monographs. The methodologist E. W. Burgess organized empirical research for the school of doctoral studies that emerged in Chicago and successfully worked there for twenty years. It is beyond the scope of one article to discuss also the monographs by doctoral students at the University of Chicago. Paper examines in detail only the monograph by Park, Burgess and McKenzie titled The City.

Der Autor berichtet von einem Projekt des Amerika-Institutes der Universität München, das die Sozialgeschichte der deutschen eingewanderten Arbeiter in Chicago in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts aufarbeiten soll. Untersucht werden sollen (1) die soziale Schichtung der deutschen Immigranten in Chicago und die innerhalb der deutschen Arbeiterschaft, (2) die sozialen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschen, anderen Einwanderern und Amerikanern, (3) die Teilnahme der Deutschen an politischen Aktivitäten und (4) Kontinuitäten und Veränderungen innerhalb der Subkultur der deutschen Arbeitsimmigranten in ihrem Alltag. Als Quellen sollen die seit 1850 im Zehn-Jahres-Rhythmus folgenden Volksbefragungen in Chicago dienen, daneben die Analyse der zeitgenössischen Zeitungen 'Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung', 'Vorbote' und 'Fackel' sowie Nachbarschaftsstudien, die auf den Daten der Volksbefragungen beruhen.

The authors tell the stories of the planners, politicians, and everyday people who shaped Chicago, starting in 1958, early in the RIchard J. Daley era. This isn't the way other history books tell the story. But it's the Chicago way.

Entertaining and scrupulously researched, Chicago '68 reconstructs the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago--an epochal moment in American cultural and political history. By drawing on a wide range of sources, Farber tells and retells the story of the protests in three different voices, from the perspectives of the major protagonists--the Yippies, the National Mobilization to End the War, and Mayor Richard J. Daley and his police. He brilliantly recreates all the excitement and drama, the violently charged action and language of this period of crisis, giving life to the whole set of cultural ex.
