While these reformers emphasized different programs, they crafted a common language of social reconciliation in which an imagined civic community--\"the People\"--would transcend parochial class and political loyalties. But efforts to invent a society without enduring class lines marginalized new immigrants and African Americans by declaring them unprepared for civic responsibilities. In so doing, Progressives laid the foundation for twentieth-century liberals' inability to see their world in class terms and to conceive of social remedies that might alter the structures of class power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931497070880,"sku":"NEW0252072693","price":28.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/reinventing-the-people-the-progressive-movement-the-class-problem-and-the-origins-of-modern-liberalism-working-class-in-american-history-0252072693","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
