Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, Signs of Change assess the people of San Francisco according to their own demonstrative standards through the visual symbols.

Book Working class Formation

Download or read book Working class Formation written by Ira Katznelson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-21 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying an original theoretical framework, an international group of historians and social scientists here explores how class, rather than other social bonds, became central to the ideologies, dispositions, and actions of working people, and how this process was translated into diverse institutional legacies and political outcomes. Focusing principally on France. Germany, and the United States, the contributors examine the historically contingent connections between class, as objectively structured and experienced, and collective perceptions and responses as they develop in work, community, and politics. Following Ira Katznelson's introduction of the analytical concepts, William H. Sewell, Jr., Michelle Perrot, and Alain Cottereau discuss France; Amy Bridges and Martin Shefter, the United States; and Jargen Kocka and Mary Nolan, Germany. The conclusion by Aristide R. Zolberg comments on working-class formation up to World War I, including developments in Great Britain, and challenges conventional wisdom about class and politics in the industrializing West.

Book Becoming Citizens

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gayle Gullett
  • Publisher : University of Illinois Press
  • Release : 2000-02-07
  • ISBN : 0252093313
  • Pages : 290 pages

Download or read book Becoming Citizens written by Gayle Gullett and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000-02-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1880, Californians believed a woman safeguarded the Republic by maintaining a morally sound home. Scarcely forty years later, women in the state won full-fledged citizenship and voting rights by stepping outside the home to engage in robust activism. Gayle Gullett reveals how this enormous transformation came about and the ways women's search for a larger public life led to a flourishing women's movement in California. Though voters rejected women's radical demand for citizenship in 1896, women rebuilt the movement in the early years of the twentieth century and forged critical bonds between activist women and the men involved in the urban Good Government movement. This alliance formed the basis of progressivism, with male Progressives helping to legitimize women's new public work by supporting their civic campaigns, appointing women to public office, and placing a suffrage referendum before the male electorate in 1911. Placing local developments in a national context, Becoming Citizens illuminates the links between women's reform movements and progressivism in the American West.
