Jane Addams was an important reformer whose work for peace, social
justice and prosperity won her the Nobel Prize. She is most
well-known for establishing in 1889 a reform residence called Hull
House, located on the West Side of Chicago. She also supported the
movement for women's suffrage and was instrumental in the founding
of several key peace organizations. Her activism has become
legendary, but she also wrote eleven books. Newer Ideals of Peace
is perhaps her most important written work, now finally back in
print in a new edition. Although originally published in 1907, it
still is astonishingly relevant to our own time. In this book,
Addams presents in a compelling and concise format, the problems
that America faces in the interaction between industrialism,
militarism and patriotism. She also discusses the dynamics of
ethnicity and race, especially in an urban context. Moreover, she
provides sober, realistic solutions to these difficulties. Her
reputation is once again restored to its rightful place by the
reissue of this profound and far-seeing work. It undoubtedly will
enlighten a whole new generation about the limitations and failures
of modern government.
