The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation Free Audiobook Download by Natalie Y. Moore


This is a must-read book that examines the past, present and future of Chicago. It follows two families from different parts of Chicago - one African American family from Woodlawn and one white family from Hyde Park. They both struggle with a polarization that is not only happening in their neighborhoods but also in their children's schools. The author, Natalie Y., Moore looks at how segregation has survived for decades and what it means to live in a place like this.

"The South Side" tells the story of Chicago's segregated neighborhoods and the people who live in them. Through interviews, historical anecdotes, and personal stories, "The South Side" presents different perspectives on what it means to be black in America.

The South Side, named for its location on the south side of Chicago's city center, was an important area in which out of towners would come in search of work. The South Side is described as a "first stop" for many southern African Americans from the rural south. But, the South Side has also been a place that is home to immigrants from Europe and Asia.

The South Side of Chicago, known for its history of segregation and racial violence, is a unique place in the United States. The South Side is made up of African Americans, Latinos, and poor whites who live in segregated communities controlled by gangs and other criminal elements. In this book, Natalie Y. Moore explores how the South Side became like this and she analyzes the differences between why the North Side is not like this.

In the book, author Natalie Y. Moore tells a story of the South Side's evolution over 125 years. She focuses on three periods: the early 20th century, the Great Migration (the departure of many African Americans in search of work and life elsewhere), and the period since 1975. The book also provides a history of how Chicago became such a segregated city.

The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation is a 19-hour audiobook that covers the story of Chicago's impoverished Southside. The book introduces readers to a great many different aspects of life on the South Side, from its history to famous figures to how it became a predominantly African American area through discrimination.
