Daniel Eli Burnstein's study examines prominent street sanitation issues in Progressive Era New York City--ranging from garbage strikes to \"juvenile cleaning leagues\"--to explore how middle-class reformers amassed a cross-class and cross-ethnic base of support for social reform measures to a degree greater than in practically any other period of prosperity in U.S. history. The struggle for enhanced civic sanitation serves as a window for viewing Progressive Era social reformers' attitudes, particularly their emphasis on mutual obligations between the haves and have-nots, and their recognition of the role of negative social and physical conditions in influencing individual behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916327911712,"sku":"NEW0252077806","price":43.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/next-to-godliness-confronting-dirt-and-despair-in-progressive-era-new-york-city-0252077806","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
