This book examines the conflict surrounding the latest redevelopment frontier in Chicago: the city South Side blues clubs and blocks. Like Chicago, cities such as Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, Washington D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia are experiencing a new redevelopment machine: one of tyrannizing and fear. Its actors are adroit at working via the creation of fear to â€œterror-redevelopâ€? in these historically neglected neighborhoods. The book also discusses the powerful race and class-based politics in Chicago blues clubs that resist such change. A â€œleisure as resistanceâ€? framework represents the latest innovative form of opposition to the transformation of these historic sites.
