The study of philanthropy has transcended the structure of
traditional disciplines, often involving non-historians in
historical analysis. This book presents professional historians
addressing the dominant issues and theories offered to explain the
history of American philanthropy and its role in American society.
The essays develop and enlighten the major themes proposed by the
book's editors, in some instances taking issue with each other in
the process. The overarching premise is that philanthropic activity
in America has its roots in the desires of individuals to impose
their visions of societal ideals or conceptions of truth upon their
society. To do so, they have organised in groups, frequently
defining themselves and their group's role in society in the
process.
