Moving Up Without Losing Your Way
In this short and stimulating study, the philosopher Jennifer Morton treats upward mobility as a normative commitment and evinces a deep ambivalence about it. Casting her attention on college students, she trains an empathetic eye upon “strivers,” those working their way up from low-income or working-class families or people of color and first-generation college students who do not fit easily into what she identifies as “middle-class, often-major…
Dale K. Van Kley. Reform Catholicism and the International Suppression of the Jesuits in Enlightenment Europe
The suppression of the Society of Jesus was one of the most significant religious and cultural events of the eighteenth century. In a little over two hundred years, the Jesuits had gone from a small group of relative outsiders to a pervasive presence in European and global education, culture, and religion. Yet in a matter of a few short years, they met a temporary institutional demise. In Reform Catholicism and the International Suppression of th…
Modernity and the Great Depression
To Kenneth J. Bindas modernity means reason, order, and planning, and to embrace modernism means to believe, in a religious sense, that those characteristics will be the basis for a better world. In the 1930s the “ideals of order, planning, and reason became an ontology that aided the shift of consciousness toward the symbolic and practical advantages of modernity,” Bindas argues (p. 6). He does not study the actual implementation of these ideals…

The Last Progressive Historian
Colleagues hailed the Rutgers University historian Warren Susman as a pioneer in the field of cultural history and popular culture when he died in 1985 at the age of fifty-eight. Although well known, Susman had published just a handful of essays, a collection of which was published only the year before his death. Despite his reputation, this work was not widely reviewed and when it was, not uniformly positively. This essay explores the disjunctio…
Cowboy Conservatism
In his study of the demise of Democratic party dominance in Texas, Sean P. Cunningham provides a vivid, informative, and frequently insightful chronicle of Texas politics between 1963 and 1980. Basing his analysis on extensive archival research, Cunningham surveys the rise of a new breed of conservative Republican in Texas, the relatively limited appeal of white backlash politics in the state, and the triumph of the Republican party in the 1970s.…

The Cambridge Companion to the Jesuits
Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) obtained papal approval in 1540 for a new international religious order called the Society of Jesus. Until the mid-1700s the 'Jesuits' were active in many parts of Europe and far beyond. Gaining both friends and enemies in response to their work as teachers, scholars, writers, preachers, missionaries and spiritual directors, the Jesuits were formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 and restored by Pope Pius V…

A Worldly Reform
The present study argues that a worldly sense of honor could spur a Renaissance prelate to reform as much as it might inhibit him from it. Many clerics were more interested in their livelihoods than in reform. Nevertheless, the social prestige that these individuals enjoyed or sought led them, paradoxically, to carry out reforms that have often been attributed to a more «pure» or «evangelical» inspiration. Thus, historians should use caution in e…
