Blurb: “Though today it can seem as if all American culture comes out of New York City and Los Angeles, much of what defined the nation as it grew into a superpower was produced in Chicago. Before air travel overtook trains, nearly every coast-to-coast journey included a stop in Chicago, and this flow of people and commodities made the great city a crucible for American culture and innovation. Between the end of WWII and 1960, Mies van der Rohe's glass and steel architecture Mecame the face of corporate America, Ray Kroc's McDonald's changed how we eat, Hugh Hefner unveiled Playboy, and the Chess brothers supercharged rock and roll with Chuck Berry. As Chicago led the way in producing mass-market culture, individual artists including Mahalia Jackson, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Sun Ra, Nelson Algren, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Studs Terkel pushed back in their own voices. The Third Coast recalls the prominence of the Windy City in all its grandeur and explains its profound impact on modern America.”
