- Synopsis
- Beginning in the late 1880s, the social settlement movement brought educated young women and men of the privileged classes into some of the poorest communities of America's cities. Living as "neighbors" to the struggling immigrant families, they attempted to bring about a series of social reforms that they believed would build a better world. This book focuses on the period from the rise of the settlement movement until World War I. It examines the role of the settlements in education, housing, the labor movement, politics, and much more.
