description: In the Milwaukee neighborhood of Riverwest, the parade of change has been a full-blown pageant. Tucked neatly into a long curve of the Milwaukee river north of downtown, this slice of the city began as a summertime playground for wealthy Germans, became a haven for working-class Polish immigrants, found new life as a Puerto Rican barrio, and then hosted a stunning variety of countercultures, from suburban-bred revolutionaries to tattoed punk anarchists. The pageant has been going on for nearly 200 years and, amazingly, every stage in the procession is still visible - either in the landscape itself or in the people who share it. 8x8", xii+197 pp., b&amp;w photographs.
