Pots of Promise: Mexicans and Pottery at Hull-House, 1920-40

By (author) Margaret Strobel, Edited by Cheryl Ganz






| book description |

Exploring the untold stories of Hull-House arts programs in the 1920s and 1930s, and the pottery program at the commercial Hull-House Kilns, Pots of Promise also addresses the story of Mexicans in Chicago and the history of Hull-House in the years when Jane Addams increasingly turned her attention beyond the settlement house she had co-founded. This book is the first on the Hull-House Kilns; it examines Mexicans in the Hull-House colonia, Chicago's largest Mexican settlement. Pots of Promise includes 131 color and black-and-white photographs, many of them previously unpublished, and four essays: Bringing Art to Life: The Practice of Art at Hull-House by Peggy Glowacki; Incorporating Reform and Religion: Mexican Immigrants, Hull-House, and the Church by David A. Badillo; Shaping Clay, Shaping Lives: The Hull-House Kilns by Cheryl R. Ganz; and Forging a Mexican National Identity in Chicago: Mexican Migrants and Hull-House by Rick A. Lpez.
