Aprašymas
The emergence of the 20th-century social reformer from Jane Addams, Randolph Bourne, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Walter Lippmann & Lincoln Steffens to Reinhold Niebuhr, Norman Mailer, Sidney Hook, and Dwight MacDonald.
Around the turn of the century, the American liberal tradition made a major shift from politics to social reform. Progressivism had been for the most part a political movement, whereas those whom Lasch distinguishes as the new radicals were more interested in the reform of education, culture, and sexual mores in the advancement of social reform and women's rights; and in the avoidance of war and the exposure of corruption.
Lasch portrays the new radicals chiefly through vivid biographical essays. His subjects include:
• Jane Addams & the emancipation of women
• Randolph Bourne, "the first culture hero of the revolt of youth"
• Mabel Dodge Luhan and the uses of sex as politics
• Walter Lippmann and the early New Republic
• an array of contemporary intellectuals such as Norman Mailer, Dwight MacDonald & Sidney Hook
"A bold and superbly written book with many fresh, shrewd perceptions about figures we thought we knew well."
-- Richard Hofstadter
