Download or read book The Radical Middle Class written by Robert D. Johnston and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has a long tradition of middle-class radicalism, albeit one that intellectual orthodoxy has tended to obscure. The Radical Middle Class seeks to uncover the democratic, populist, and even anticapitalist legacy of the middle class. By examining in particular the independent small business sector or petite bourgeoisie, using Progressive Era Portland, Oregon, as a case study, Robert Johnston shows that class still matters in America. But it matters only if the politics and culture of the leading player in affairs of class, the middle class, is dramatically reconceived. This book is a powerful combination of intellectual, business, labor, medical, and, above all, political history. Its author also humanizes the middle class by describing the lives of four small business owners: Harry Lane, Will Daly, William U'Ren, and Lora Little. Lane was Portland's reform mayor before becoming one of only six senators to vote against U.S. entry into World War I. Daly was Oregon's most prominent labor leader and a onetime Socialist. U'Ren was the national architect of the direct democracy movement. Little was a leading antivaccinationist. The Radical Middle Class further explores the Portland Ku Klux Klan and concludes with a national overview of the American middle class from the Progressive Era to the present. With its engaging narrative, conceptual richness, and daring argumentation, it will be welcomed by all who understand that reexamining the middle class can yield not only better scholarship but firmer grounds for democratic hope.
Download or read book Popular Radicalism in Nineteenth Century Britain written by John Belchem and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1995-12-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In offering a wide-ranging overview of radicalism throughout the 'long' nineteenth century, from the mid eighteenth century to the aftermath of the First World War, this study contests the methods and findings of recent revisionist interpretations. Radical movements faced a more difficult task than other political formations since they sought not merely to construct an audience - to find a language which resonated with people's material needs and greivances - but to mobilise for change. Options were limited as radicals had to conform to rhetorical, organisational and cultural norms to ensure popular legitimacy and support. This volume pays particular attention therefore to contextual factors: to the changing codes and conventions of political culture and public space. Through critical engagement with revisionist and post-modernist interpretations, it throws new light on factors which often divided liberals from radicals, and indeed, radicals from themselves. This is an accessible and much-needed introduction to the new linguistic and cultural approaches to nineteenth-century popular politics.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of British Liberalism written by Alan Sykes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first book to cover the history of British Liberalism from its founding doctrines in the later eighteenth century to the final dissolution of the Liberal party into the Liberal Democrats in 1988. The Party dominated British politics for much of the later nineteenth-century, most notably under Gladstone, whose premierships spanned 1868-1894, and during the early twentieth, but after the resignation of Lloyd George in 1922 the Liberal Party never held office again. The decline of the Party remains a unique phenomenon in British politics and Alan Sykes illuminates its dramatic and peculiar circumstances in this comprehensive study.

Download or read book The Transformation of Urban Liberalism written by James R. Moore and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transformation of Urban Liberalism re-evaluates the dramatic and turbulent political decade following the 'third Reform Act', and questions whether the Liberal Party's political heartlands - the urban boroughs - really were in decline. Using parallel case studies, James Moore illustrates how the party gradually began to transform into a social democratic organisation through a re-evaluation of its role and policy direction. This process was heavily influenced by 'grass roots politics', suggesting that late Victorian politics was more democratic and open than sometimes thought.

Download or read book History of the Modern World For UPSC Civil Services Examinations written by Ajay Shukla and published by S. Chand Publishing. This book was released on with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Modern World is not merely a chronicle of past events. This book is a venture to discuss the underlying thoughts that led to those events, and the thoughts - the ideologies - that sprouted out as a consequence of the historical events. The author has taken care to cover the events of historical significance that shaped our modern world and has analysed the causes and consequences of the events that shaped our modern era. This analysis has been done not only from the political point of view but also from the social, economic, and even psychological viewpoints because real-life events are affected by an assorted gamut of factors. Thus, the book will engage and encourage its readers in discovering new ideas and knowledge, and motivate them to dig deep into the History of the Modern World. The intention of this book is simply to make the reader understand, and think with an open mind, and not pass any final judgment on history. Time is its own final judge on historical matters, and hence, the judgments also keep getting revised with the passage of _me. It is so because it is the present that decides how we judge the past. The content and the treatment of the book would make it immensely useful in the preparation for the General Studies-I (Paper-II) of the Main Examination as well as the Preliminary Examination (General Studies Paper-I) conducted by the UPSC every year. Aspirants with History as an optional subject would also benefit from the book as would the UG and PG students of History and the layperson with an interest in History. While writing the papers, most often, UPSC aspirants need to explore and deeply analyse multidimensional aspects of historical events and synthesise simple, logical, and to-the-point answers from the complicated layers of historical events. This skill would eventually be tested and used in the real life by the budding civil servants who would move later into the higher echelons of the bureaucracy.
Download or read book Three Radical Women Writers written by Nora Ruth Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining biography, history, and literary theory, this work looks at three of the most significant women writers to emerge from American radicalism of the 1930s. Le Sueur, Olsen, and Herbst were influenced by the Communist movement of the time, but each also forged an independent vision of feminist socialist literary milieu. Drawing on Marxist and post-Marxist theory, and addressing the challenge of such new feminist theorists as Jean Bethke Elshtain, Roberts takes a theoretical approach that encompasses the social vision and feminist practice of the writers and places them in their historical, cultural, and social contexts. The study covers their lives from the turn of the century to the 1970s, with an emphasis on the 1930s; examines their views of the Cold War; links the three to the Progressive tradition; and analyzes their key literary works. Resources for analysis include historical and contemporary theory; excerpts from the radical press of the 1920s and 1930s; and primary materials from the writers themselves, including journals, notes, and unpublished archival materials.
