Social Class, Social Action, and Education - The Failure of Progressive Democracy (Hardcover)

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
