Mid-Term Exam - Friday, 3/20

Your midterm examination will be next Friday, March 20, in class. You will be randomly assigned two of the following three essay questions:

1. How do structuralists like Peterson (and, to a lesser extent, Stone) critique the pluralist view of urban politics? Do you agree with this critique? Why or why not?
2. "Blacks have not benefited from political incorporation." Agree or disagree with this statement.
3. What factors motivated Progressive-Era reformers to challenge political machines? What factors contributed to their success?

Remember that you can bring one 3x5 index card with you to the exam. Good luck!
