A gripping and forceful narrative.Nancy F. Cott, author of Public Vows
An enthralling (Michael Kazin, Washington Post) account of America's shift from a rural and agrarian society to an urban and industrial society.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, technological innovation made possible dramatic increases in industrial and agricultural productivity; by 1919, per capita gross national product had soared. But this new wealth and new power were not distributed evenly.
In this landmark workwith continued resonance for our timesacclaimed historian Nell Irvin Painter illuminates the class, economic, and political conflicts that defined the Progressive Era. Demonstrating the ways in which racial and social hierarchies were interwoven with reform movements, she offers a lively and comprehensive view of Americans, rich and working-class, at the precipice of change.
