Opis

Before World War II most history departments in the United States were waspish gentleman's clubs with few women, Africans, Jews or Catholics. Only a few faculty members had serious scholarly ambitions. This book describes how previously excluded groups made their way into the profession and how stronger scholarly standards became accepted by the profession.
