This two-volume study of progressive education covers the period between 1750 and 1967. The work shows educational innovations to be not just a 1990s phenomenon but one with historical roots going back to the 18th century.;The first volume traces the many currents of thought on education during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Examining the state of education in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution, the volume takes into account the social and economic changes of the 19th century and looks at the role of the school as agent of historical reform. As well as documenting the writings of theorists, teachers, social reformers, philanthropists and continental educational thinkers, the study deals with the contributions made by a number of British pioneers and innovative educational institutions which hitherto had not received full recognition.;Volume two reviews three waves of progressive schools, from pre-World War I up to the outbreak of World War II, before following the changing position of the progressive schools up to 1967. Although primarily concerned with England, the author discusses some progressive international movements, including key European developments .

Starting in the early 1900s, many thousands of native Filipinos were conscripted as laborers in American West Coast agricultural fields and Alaska salmon canneries. There, they found themselves confined to exploitative low-wage jobs in racially segregated workplaces as well as subjected to vigilante violence and other forms of ethnic persecution. In time, though, Filipino workers formed political organizations and affiliated with labor unions to represent their interests and to advance their struggles for class, race, and gender-based social justice. Union by Law analyzes the broader social and legal history of Filipino American workers' rights-based struggles, culminating in the devastating landmark Supreme Court ruling, Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio (1989). Organized chronologically, the book begins with the US invasion of the Philippines and the imposition of colonial rule at the dawn of the twentieth century. The narrative then follows the migration of Filipino workers to the United States, where they mobilized for many decades within and against the injustices of American racial capitalist empire that the Wards Cove majority willfully ignored in rejecting their longstanding claims. This racial innocence in turn rationalized judicial reconstruction of official civil rights law in ways that significantly increased the obstacles for all workers seeking remedies for institutionalized racism and sexism. A reclamation of a long legacy of racial capitalist domination over Filipinos and other low-wage or unpaid migrant workers, Union by Law also tells a story of noble aspirational struggles for human rights over several generations and of the many ways that law was mobilized both to enforce and to challenge race, class, and gender hierarchy at work.

What role has litigation played in the struggle for equal pay between women and men? In "Rights at Work," Michael W. McCann explains how wage discrimination battles have raised public legal consciousness and helped reform activists mobilize working women in the pay equity movement over the past two decades.
"Rights at Work" explores the political strategies in more than a dozen pay equity struggles since the late 1970s, including battles of state employees in Washington and Connecticut, as well as city employees in San Jose and Los Angeles. Relying on interviews with over 140 union and feminist activists, McCann shows that, even when the courts failed to correct wage discrimination, litigation and other forms of legal advocacy provided reformers with the legal discourse2;the understanding of legal rights and their constraints2;for defining and advancing their cause.
"Rights at Work" offers new insight into the relation between law and social change2;the ways in which grass roots social movements work within legal rights traditions to promote progressive reform.

1919. The relationship of natural food to health and life. The author has personal experience of the food industry and deplores the processing involved in the making of "depraved foods."

He holds that the true conditions now so completely hidden from the public view and so rarely referred to in the public press must be exposed in order that the public, guided by the dictates of common sense and an adequate realization of economic facts concerning the food supply of America, may successfully wage war against abuses which threaten the very foundations of national health and prosperity.
