California was perhaps the most important locus for the development
of the Progressive reform movement in the decades of the twentieth
century. These twelve original essays represent the best of the new
scholarship on California Progressivism. Ranging across a spectrum
that embraces ethnicity, gender, class, and varying ideological
stances, the authors demonstrate that reform in California was a
far broader, more complicated phenomenon than we have previously
understood.
Since the 1950s, scholars have used California Progressivism as a
model case study for explaining early twentieth-century social and
political reform nationwide. But such a model--which ignored issues
of class, race, and gender--simplified a political movement that
was, in fact, quite complex.
In revising the monolithic interpretation of reform and reformers,
this volume provides a better understanding of the sweeping reform
impulses that had such a profound effect on American political and
social institutions during this century. Equally important, the
issues examined here offer significant insights into problems that
the entire country must tackle as we approach the new century.
