Download or read book Citizen written by Louise W. Knight and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Addams was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Now Citizen, Louise W. Knight's masterful biography, reveals Addams's early development as a political activist and social philosopher. In this book we observe a powerful mind grappling with the radical ideas of her age, most notably the ever-changing meanings of democracy. Citizen covers the first half of Addams's life, from 1860 to 1899. Knight recounts how Addams, a child of a wealthy family in rural northern Illinois, longed for a life of larger purpose. She broadened her horizons through education, reading, and travel, and, after receiving an inheritance upon her father's death, moved to Chicago in 1889 to co-found Hull House, the city's first settlement house. Citizen shows vividly what the settlement house actually was—a neighborhood center for education and social gatherings—and describes how Addams learned of the abject working conditions in American factories, the unchecked power wielded by employers, the impact of corrupt local politics on city services, and the intolerable limits placed on women by their lack of voting rights. These experiences, Knight makes clear, transformed Addams. Always a believer in democracy as an abstraction, Addams came to understand that this national ideal was also a life philosophy and a mandate for civic activism by all. As her story unfolds, Knight astutely captures the enigmatic Addams's compassionate personality as well as her flawed human side. Written in a strong narrative voice, Citizen is an insightful portrait of the formative years of a great American leader. “Knight’s decision to focus on Addams’s early years is a stroke of genius. We know a great deal about Jane Addams the public figure. We know relatively little about how she made the transition from the 19th century to the 20th. In Knight’s book, Jane Addams comes to life. . . . Citizen is written neither to make money nor to gain academic tenure; it is a gift, meant to enlighten and improve. Jane Addams would have understood.”—Alan Wolfe, New York Times Book Review “My only complaint about the book is that there wasn’t more of it. . . . Knight honors Addams as an American original.”—Kathleen Dalton, Chicago Tribune

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroad Strike of 1894: The Statements of the Pullman Company and the Report of the Commission, Together With an Analysis of the Issues The main purpose of the Church Social Union is to stimulate and assist careful study of the present industrial situation. It is fitting, therefore, that it should begin its new season of work by inviting its members to give their quiet and impartial attention to the main facts in the history of the greatest industrial struggle yet seen in this country, - the Chicago strike of last year, - and to ponder soberly the principles involved. For this purpose, there are herewith put into the hands of each of the members, the Report of the U. S. Strike Commission and Mr. Pullman's Statement. Whatever criticism may be called for by either of these documents, it is evident that they are each of them at least deserving of consideration. The U. S. Strike Commission had exceptional means of arriving at an accurate knowledge of the facts of the case; and the reputation of its chairman, the Hon. Carroll D. Wright, as a statistician and economic investigator, is so high in America and Europe that his judgment as to the facts must be listened to with respect. Mr. Pullman is an extremely able and successful business man, and the statement he has put forward has undoubtedly been prepared with the aid of the most skilful advisers attainable. To assist the members of the C. S. U. to arrive at some conclusions concerning the mass of contentions now put before them, the Committee venture to lay before them certain notes and memoranda. They would urge their members, however, before going further, first to read rapidly through both the accompanying documents. Each, in its different way, is so forcible that members who have scanty leisure, having read one, will possibly think that there is nothing more to be said, and that it is hardly worth while to read the other. For the purpose, however, which this Society has at heart, it is of the utmost importance that whichever may chance to have been read first, the other should then be read also. And members are urged not to content themselves with newspaper summaries, but to read both right through. Having done this, they will be in a position to go over the subject once more, more critically; and for this purpose they may find it useful to follow the lines of thought here laid down. It need hardly be said that if this publication is taken up and glanced through, put down and forgotten, as we read newspapers, it will be useless. It is hoped that members will keep it by them, and recur to it again and again for quiet and sustained consideration.

Book excerpt: "Timely and urgent...The core of The Edge of Anarchy is a thrilling description of the boycott of Pullman cars and equipment by Eugene Debs’s fledgling American Railway Union..." —The New York Times "During the summer of 1894, the stubborn and irascible Pullman became a central player in what the New York Times called “the greatest battle between labor and capital [ever] inaugurated in the United States.” Jack Kelly tells the fascinating tale of that terrible struggle." —The Wall Street Journal "Pay attention, because The Edge of Anarchy not only captures the flickering Kinetoscopic spirit of one of the great Labor-Capital showdowns in American history, it helps focus today’s great debates over the power of economic concentration and the rights and futures of American workers." —Brian Alexander, author of Glass House "In gripping detail, The Edge of Anarchy reminds us of what a pivotal figure Eugene V. Debs was in the history of American labor... a tale of courage and the steadfast pursuit of principles at great personal risk." —Tom Clavin, New York Times bestselling author of Dodge City The dramatic story of the explosive 1894 clash of industry, labor, and government that shook the nation and marked a turning point for America. The Edge of Anarchy by Jack Kelly offers a vivid account of the greatest uprising of working people in American history. At the pinnacle of the Gilded Age, a boycott of Pullman sleeping cars by hundreds of thousands of railroad employees brought commerce to a standstill across much of the country. Famine threatened, riots broke out along the rail lines. Soon the U.S. Army was on the march and gunfire rang from the streets of major cities. This epochal tale offers fascinating portraits of two iconic characters of the age. George Pullman, who amassed a fortune by making train travel a pleasure, thought the model town that he built for his workers would erase urban squalor. Eugene Debs, founder of the nation’s first industrial union, was determined to wrench power away from the reigning plutocrats. The clash between the two men’s conflicting ideals pushed the country to what the U.S. Attorney General called “the ragged edge of anarchy.” Many of the themes of The Edge of Anarchy could be taken from today’s headlines—upheaval in America’s industrial heartland, wage stagnation, breakneck technological change, and festering conflict over race, immigration, and inequality. With the country now in a New Gilded Age, this look back at the violent conflict of an earlier era offers illuminating perspectives along with a breathtaking story of a nation on the edge.
