Redefining American Spaces: the City, the Land, and the Body The Urban and Ethnicity Session 2.5: The Postindustrial City, the Second Ghetto, and Carlo Rotella's October Cities : The Redevelopment of Urban Literature Focus: In October Cities , Carlo Rotella explores the transformation of the city and urban literature after World War II. "Returning to his native Chicago after World War II, Nelson Algren found a city transformed. The white-ethnic urban villages he regarded as his home turf were beginning to break up as the middle class and economic opportunity departed the inner city. The flourishing industry and literature that had once placed prewar Chicago at center stage in American culture were both entering a time of crisis. Black southerners arriving in postwar Chicago found themselves increasingly estranged from the economic and cultural resources of the nation." The result of these changes was a new white literature of urban decline, epitomized by Algren, and a new black literature of migration and inner city life, developed by such writers as Gwendolyn Brooks and Claude Brown.

87. Collection Development Statement are withdrawn and sent to the state Historical Library US newspapers outside of Illinoisare collected from Major cities of Western Europe are also represented http://gateway.library.uiuc.edu/collections/files/tf_cd_newspapers.htm

NEWSPAPER COLLECTION DESCRIPTION Purpose The purpose of the newspaper collection is to support the research and teaching needs of the University faculty and students. The Library especially serves programs in the Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as the general reader for a variety of purposes. History of Collection The collection of Illinois papers was begun circa 1914 but was soon expanded to include major United States and foreign dailies. The size and bulk of holdings required that the Newspaper Room, as it was then called, occupy the major part of the basement of the Main Library Building. In 1939, the first full-time professional assistant was appointed. In that year there were 502 titles shelved in the Newspaper Room of which only 61 were purchased. Beginning in the late 1940s, and especially in the 1950s and 1960s, major efforts were undertaken to replace bound newspaper holdings with microfilm, so that by the 1980s film has become the primary format for retrospective files of newspapers. Estimate of Holdings 73,000 reels of microfilm consisting of 369 general interest domestic titles, 312 general interest foreign titles, and 172 subject-oriented titles; and 8,800 microcards representing 13 titles. In addition, the Newspaper Library has current subscriptions to 515 United States and foreign newspapers and more than 3,000 volumes of reference guides, bibliographies, histories, and newspaper indexes.
