Summary
"John Louis Recchiuti recounts the history of a vibrant network of young American scholars and social activists who helped transform a city and a nation. In this study, Recchiuti focuses on more than a score of Progressive reformers, including Florence Kelley, W.E.B. Du Bois, E.R.A. Seligman, Charles Beard, Franz Boaz, Frances Perkins, Samuel Lindsay, Edward Devine, Mary Simkhovitch, and George Edmund Haynes. He reminds us how people from markedly diverse backgrounds forged a movement to change a city, and beyond it, a nation."--Jacket.
