Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Church and State in the City provides the first comprehensive analysis of the city's long debate about the public interest. Historian William Issel explores the complex ways that the San Francisco Catholic Churchand its lay men and womendeveloped relationships with the local businesses, unions, other community groups, and city government to shape debates about how to defineand implementthe common good. Issel's deeply researched narrative also sheds new light on the city's socialists, including Communist Party activiststhe most important transnational challengers of both capitalism and Catholicism during the twentieth century. Moreover, Church and State in the City is revisionist in challenging the notion that the history of urban politics and policy can be best understood as the unfolding of a progressive, secular modernization of urban political culture. Issel shows how tussles over the public interest in San Francisco were both distinctive to the city and shaped by its American character.
