The Changing Face of Inequality: Urbanization, Industrial Development, and Immigrants in Detroit, 1880-1920

Originally published in 1983, <i>The Changing Face of Inequality</i> is the first systematic social history of a major American city undergoing industrialization. Zunz examines Detroit's evolution between 1880 and 1920 and discovers the ways in which ethnic and class relations profoundly altered its urban scene. Stunning in scope, this work makes a major contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century cities.
