Settlement Sociology in Progressive Years: Faith, Science, and Reform : Studies in Critical Social Sciences, Volume 75 (Studies in Critical Social Sciences)

Settlement Sociology In The Progressive Years claims for sociology a lost history and paradigm only recently acknowledged for shaping the American sociological tradition. The roots of sociology as a public enterprise for social reform are restored through early research, teaching and social advocacy. Williams and MacLean trace the key works of early scholar activists through the leading settlement houses in Chicago, New York and Boston.
