List of contents

About the author

James J. Connolly is Assistant Professor of History, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana.

Summary

Progressivism, Connolly argues, was a form of political action available to a range of individuals and groups. In showing that the reform visions arising in Boston included not only the progressivism of its business leaders but also a series of ethnic progressivisms, Connolly offers a new approach to urban public life in the early 20th century.
