Behind the Backlash

White Working-Class Politics in Baltimore, 1940-1980

By: Kenneth D. Durr

In this nuanced look at white working-class life and politics in twentieth-century America, Kenneth Durr takes readers into the neighborhoods, workplaces, and community institutions of blue-collar Baltimore in the decades after World War II. Challenging notions that the "white backlash" of the 1960s and 1970s was driven by increasing race resentment, Durr details the rise of a working-class populism shaped by mistrust of the means and ends of postwar liberalism in the face of urban decline. Exploring the effects of desegregation, deindustrialization, recession, and the rise of urban crime, Durr shows how legitimate economic, social, and political grievances convinced white working-class Baltimoreans that they were threatened more by the actions of liberal policymakers than by the incursions of urban blacks. While acknowledging the parochialism and racial exclusivity of white working-class life, Durr adopts an empathetic view of workers and their institutions. Behind the Backlash melds ethnic, labor, and political history to paint a rich portrait of urban life--and the sweeping social and economic changes that reshaped America's cities and politics in the late twentieth century.

Life of the Party

Kenneth F. Simpson and the Survival of the Republicans in 1930s New York

By: Kenneth D. Durr

Kenneth Simpson lived at the intersection of the most powerful political currents in the first half of the twentieth century. From his upbringing in the Progressive era, to young adulthood as part of the transatlantic "lost generation" of the 1920s, to leadership among the first liberal Republicans of the 1930s, his life and career overlapped with such notables as Theodore Roosevelt, Prescott Bush, John J. McCloy, Gertrude Stein, Fiorello La Guardia, Bruce Barton, Thomas Dewey, and Wendell Willkie. Simpson's biography documents a critical struggle in American politics: the Republican party's contentious adjustment to minority status during the years of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. In fast-paced prose, this book lays out the terms of disagreement among Republicans of the 1930s and introduces the reader to key players in Grand Old Party politics both nationally and locally. Simpson's warning to Republicans in the 1930s is worth considering now: "If we turn toward reaction we might as well fold up. If we look forward we cannot miss." -- from dust jacket.
