Williams and MacLean trace the key works of early scholar activists through the leading settlement houses in Chicago, New York and Boston. The roots of sociology as a public enterprise for social reform are restored to the canon through early research, teaching and social advocacy. The settlement paradigm of “neighborly relations” combining the visions of social gospelers and first-wave feminists will resonate for a renewed public sociology today. Key to this paradigm was the movement to "settle" in neighborhoods and become active in the struggle for social change in a period of rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization.Studies in critical social sciences ;Volume 75.Social settlementsUnited StatesHistoryProgressivism (United States politics)Social settlementsHistory.Progressivism (United States politics)307.760973Williams Joyce E.143328MacLean Vicky M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822203303321Settlement sociology in the progressive years3989611UNINA
