Andrew Hurley is Professor of History at the University of Missouri-St.Louis. He is the author of Diners, Bowling Alleys, and Trailer Parks: Chasing the American Dream in Postwar Consumer Culture and Environmental Inequalities: Class, Race, and Industrial Pollution in Gary, Indiana, 1945-1980.

"[Hurley] seeks to demonstrate how, through the strategic use of public history, historic preservation might become a more effective instrument for inner-city neighborhood revitalization... Beyond Preservation [is] valuable because it provides lessons for those who are considering embarking on public history projects in the inner city, explaining just how frustrating they can become. This kind of community service is hard work. But there are overriding benefits to participating in a city's evolution and writing about it." - Journal of Urban Affairs
