Progressives on the Hudson

Their Impact on New York State Politics and Policy

About this book

Chronicles the civic endeavors of progressive political activists in New York's Hudson Valley.

Drawing on riveting firsthand accounts, Progressives on the Hudson highlights the influence of progressives in campaigns and elections, political parties, nongovernmental organizations, and the policy arena. Michael A. Armato explores these activities in the context of structural factors unique to the state of New York. Beyond simply serving as a study of one of New York's most historic regions, Armato shows that progressive civic engagement is not confined to America's largest cities. And, even more broadly, he provides readers with an in-depth discussion of progressive political ideology and illustrates that while progressives share some common ideas, they are by no means a monolith. Offering readers a rich description of civic life in the Hudson Valley, as told by progressive activists, and supplemented by local news sources and primary documents, Progressives on the Hudson skillfully contributes to our understanding of civic engagement and political ideology.
