The California Progressives
About this book
The California Progressives offers an in-depth exploration of the progressive movement as it unfolded in California, shedding light on its role in shaping both state and national reform efforts between 1900 and 1916. Part of the Chronicles of California series, this work examines the paradoxical nature of progressivism—a bipartisan reform wave led predominantly by middle- and upper-class citizens during a time of relative prosperity. Through the lens of California’s grassroots political dynamics, the book tackles key questions about the motivations, goals, and ideologies of the Progressive leaders, as well as the broader implications of their reforms on American liberalism and the cyclical nature of reform movements.
Building on over a decade of research into progressivism at the national level, the author emphasizes the necessity of understanding the movement from its state-level origins. This California-focused study illuminates how reformers enacted significant changes, often adapting earlier populist and agrarian radical platforms to meet new challenges. While the book primarily reflects the "progressive-liberal" perspective due to limited access to sources from defenders of the status quo, it remains an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of progressivism in California and its enduring impact on American political and social landscapes.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1951.
