This volume focuses on progressivism's conceptions of democracy.
The analysis is interdisciplinary, beginning with a broad-ranging
history of working- and middle-class culture in America, and
grounded in American pragmatism, with the educator and philosopher,
John Dewey, as its central "character." Schutz demonstrates that
progressive ideas of democracy emerged out of the practices of a
new middle class, reacting, in part, against the more conflictive
social struggles of the working-class. The volume traces two
distinct branches of democratic progressivism: collaborative and
personalist. After examining the limitations of progressive
democratic visions, the author explores an alternative
working-class model, "democratic solidarity," that seems to correct
many of these limitations
