Philadelphia Gentlemen: The Making of a National Upper Class
ISBN: 9781412855105 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 535 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a classic study of Philadelphia's business aristocracy of colonial stock with Protestant affiliations. It is also an analysis of how fabulously wealthy nineteenth-century family founders produced a national upper-class way of life. But as that way of life came to an end, the upper-class outlived its function; this, argues E. Digby Baltzell, is precisely what took place in the Philadelphia class system. For sociologists, historians, and those concerned with issues of culture and the economy, this is indeed a classic of modern social science. This is a classic study of Philadelphia's business aristocracy of colonial stock with Protestant affiliations. It is also an analysis of how fabulo... |

Sporting Gentlemen: Men's Tennis from the Age of Honor to the Cult of the Superstar
ISBN: 9781412851800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 467 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Tennis is a high-stakes game, played by prodigies identified early and coached by professionals in hopes of high rankings and endorsements. This commercial world is far removed from the origins of the sport. Before 1968-when Wimbledon invited professional players to compete for the first time-tennis was part of a sportsmanship tradition that emphasized character over money. It produced well-rounded gentlemen who expressed a code of honor, not commerce. In this authoritative and affectionate history of men's tennis, distinguished sociologist E. Digby Baltzell recovers the glory of the... Tennis is a high-stakes game, played by prodigies identified early and coached by professionals in hopes of high rankings and endorsements. This co... |

The Protestant Establishment: Aristocracy and Caste in America
ISBN: 9780300038187 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This classic account of the traditional upper class in America traces its origins, lifestyles, and political and social attitudes from the time of Theodore Roosevelt to that of John F. Kennedy. Sociologist E. Digby Baltzell describes the problems of exclusion and prejudice within the community of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (or WASPs, an acronym he coined) and predicts with amazing accuracy what will happen when this inbred group is forced to share privilege and power with talented members of minority groups. "The book may actually hold more interest today than when it was first published....

Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia
ISBN: 9781560008309 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 604 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Based on the biographies of some three hundred people in each city, this book shows how such distinguished Boston families as the Adamses, Cabots, Lowells, and Peabodys have produced many generations of men and women who have made major contributions to the intellectual, educational, and political life of their state and nation. At the same time, comparable Philadelphia families such as the Biddles, Cadwaladers, Ingersolls, and Drexels have contributed far fewer leaders to their state and nation. From the days of Benjamin Franklin and Stephen Girard down to the present, what leadership...

The Protestant Establishment Revisited
ISBN: 9780887384196 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the latter half of the twentieth century, The American upper class has become less like an aristocracy governing and guiding the nation and more like a caste, a privileged and closed body whose contribution to national leadership has steadily declined. This loss of power and authority has been the focus of the work of E. Digby Baltzell, whose 1964 work, The Protestant Establishment, analyzed the fate and function of a predominantly Anglo-Saxon and Protestant upper class in an ethnically and religiously heterogeneous democracy. After 27 years, Baltzell's theory of the structure...

The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study
ISBN: 9781450599320 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 570 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is my earnest desire to pursue this particular form of study far enough to constitute a fair basis of induction as to the present condition of the American Negro. If, for instance, Boston in the East, Chicago and perhaps Kansas City in the West, and Atlanta, New Orleans and Galveston in the Souths were studied in a similar way, we should have a trustworthy picture of Negro city life. Add to this an inquiry into similarly selected country districts, and certainly our knowledge of the Negro would be greatly increased. The department of history and economics of Atlanta University, where I am...
