The Philosopher-Lobbyist
Author: Mordecai Lee
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438455291
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
The history of John Deweys leadership of the progressive Peoples Lobby. John Dewey (18591952) was a preeminent American philosopher who is remembered today as the founder of what is called child-centered or progressive education. In The Philosopher-Lobbyist, Mordecai Lee tells the largely forgotten story of Deweys effort to influence public opinion and promote democratic citizenship. Based on Deweys 1927 book The Public and Its Problems, the Peoples Lobby was a trailblazing nonprofit agency, an early forerunner of the now common public interest lobbying group. It used multiple forms of mass communication, grassroots organizing, and lobbying to counteract the many special interest groups and lobbies that seemed to be dominating policymaking in Congress and in the White House. During the 1930s, Dewey and the Peoples Lobby criticized the New Deal as too conservative and championed a social democratic alternative, including a more progressive tax system, government ownership of natural monopolies, and state operation of the railroad system. While its impact on historical developments was small, the story of the Peoples Lobby is an important reminder of a historical road not traveled and a policy agenda that was not adopted, but could have been.

The Jazz Problem
Author: Jacob Hardesty
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438494653
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The Jazz Problem shows how high schools and colleges were the primary sites of this generational debate around jazz, the century's first cultural war. Schools were crucial sites of dispute between the worldviews of the late nineteenth century and the emerging modern world, one synonymous with jazz. As a major site of character formation where students came of age, high schools and colleges were the places where jazz was simultaneously celebrated and denigrated. Educators saw jazz as inseparable from other vices, such as smoking, drinking, "immodest dress" (for women), and some degree of sexual activity. Yet young people felt jazz was their music and relished the sense of generational autonomy that came with their affinity for jazz. This book offers a fresh and compelling look at the jazz controversy and how it shaped not only America'“Engaging and interesting to read by a layperson, but also well researched, documented, and written for scholars in the history of jazz, American music, or music education.” — Phillip Hash, School of Music, Illinois State University s musical life but our broader cultural identity.
