This book provides a historical examination of everyday life to
reveal how and why Americans during the Progressive Era structured
their world and made their lives meaningful. The Progressive Era
represented a tumultuous time for Americans as they attempted to
come to terms with a rapidly emerging modern, urban, and industrial
society, and ultimately the dislocations caused by World War I.
Steven L. Piott's Daily Life in the Progressive Era tells the story
of how all Americans-black and white, women and men, rural
inhabitants and urban residents, workers and employers, consumers
and producers-contended with new cultural attitudes, persistent
racial and class tensions, and the power struggles of evolving
classes. This book provides a broad examination of American society
between 1900 and 1920. Organized thematically, it covers rural and
urban America, the changing nature of work, race relations, popular
culture, citizen activism, and society during wartime. Appropriate
for general readers as well as students of history, Daily Life in
the Progressive Era provides an informed and compelling narrative
history and analysis of daily life within the context of broad
historical patterns. Includes a chronology of major events between
1890 and 1920 Presents numerous photographs and images that
illustrate important points throughout the narrative Provides a
detailed bibliography of sources Includes both a detailed index and
a brief glossary of key terms
