Book Synopsis Republicanism and Bourgeois Radicalism by : Isaac Kramnick
Download or read book Republicanism and Bourgeois Radicalism written by Isaac Kramnick. This book was released on 2019-05-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book Isaac Kramnick adds a strong voice to the lively debate about the nature of political ideology in eighteenth-century England and America. Whereas the now-dominant "republican thesis" sees liberal ideology as virtually irrelevant in an age of civic commitment to a moral public order, Kramnick makes a strong case for a thriving liberalism in the Anglo-American world at the time of the American and French revolutions. In his view, both ideologies flourished during this period, and it is unwise to see one as the exclusive paradigm in which eighteenth-century political discourse took place. In short, he proposes to the republican school a scholarly truce.

Book Synopsis Sons of the Revolution by : Judith F. Stone
Download or read book Sons of the Revolution written by Judith F. Stone. This book was released on 1996. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their dream of creating a republic that derived its legitimacy from the citizenry, the French Radical democrats, who saw themselves as the legitimate heirs of the 1789 and 1848 revolutions, formed the very heart of the political world of the Belle Epoque. Yet since the collapse of the Third Republic in 1940, their influence has steadily diminished and their flamboyant turn-of-the-century party leader, Camille Pelletan - wild haired, chronically rumpled, bombastic - is all but forgotten. How did the Radicals, who in five decades went from a semilegal opposition group during the Second Empire to the largest political party in the Third Republic's Chamber of Deputies, end in obsolescence and defeat? To answer this question, Judith F. Stone offers an original reassessment of radicalism and the political culture of the Third Republic, deftly analyzing its conflicting aspirations against a backdrop of class and gender conflict, an evolving constituency, and the birth of the career politician. With insights drawn from contemporary cultural and political literature, Stone attributes the Republic's failure to the inability of the Radicals to speak for both the people and the nation. Nevertheless, she reminds us just what an audacious departure it was to establish a republic in a major European state; because of the Radical democrats, a much broader range of educated bourgeois men - not simply aristocrats and haute bourgeoisie - had access to political power.

Book Synopsis The Radical Middle Class by : Robert D. Johnston
Download or read book The Radical Middle Class written by Robert D. Johnston. This book was released on 2013-10-31. 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.
