"Profound and comprehensive."--Peace and Change "This excellent volume illuminates the template Nobel Prize winner Jane Addams forged by conceptualizing citizenship to include welfare rights, appreciation for diversity, and peace-oriented global connections. This book belongs in the hands of activists, scholars, policy makers, and concerned citizens alike."--Eileen McDonagh, author of The Motherless State: Women's Political Leadership and American Democracy "A coherent, thoughtful volume that promises to introduce a new generation of students to the thought of Jane Addams. Theorists of all sorts will have to grapple with her ideas about citizenship, participation, peace, care, diversity and difference, and building a better community."--Eileen Boris, coeditor of The Practice of U.S. Women's History: Narratives, Intersections, and Dialogues "A treasure trove of new Jane Addams scholarship that confirms her continuing relevance to our new century. As these essays clearly demonstrate, on the crucial areas of immigration, democratization, globalization, and gender issues, Addams was light years ahead of her time."--Larry Hickman, author of Pragmatism as Post-Postmodernism: Lessons from John Dewey
