Foundations, Independent
Phoebe Apperson Hearst: A Life of Power and Politics
Phoebe Apperson Hearst explores the thinking and strategies of a middle-class border-state girl as she became an influential Gilded Age philanthropist. Phoebe Hearst's philanthropy ranged widely, from San Francisco schools to women's rights, from the Young Women's Christian Association to the research university. Hearst (1842–1919) helped many young women gain the education, credentials, and rights required for self-support and careers. Alexandra…
American Philanthropic Foundations: Regional Difference and Change
Foundations in the United States: Dimensions for International Comparison
The United States offers a challenging case for the comparative study of philanthropic foundations. Depending on definition, foundation numbers total 80,000 or 130,000. They hold comparatively large assets per capita, though they vary enormously in assets; most are quite small, and compared with government and profit-seeking business, their wealth and their influence are very limited. Public controversies shape and confuse much of the discussion …
Inderjeet Parmar. Foundations of the American Century: The Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller Foundations in the Rise of American Power
Inderjeet Parmar describes the several Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations, together with the Ford Foundation, as important to “elite dominance of U.S. foreign affairs” and to “creating national and global networks of intellectuals committed to a Progressive-era state-building project for globalist ends” (256 –257). He sees this project as having begun long before 1917 as part of a persistent “cold war,” well described by the words of William Ap…
Age of System: Understanding the Development of Modern Social Science
Succeeding his intellectual biography of Herbert A. Simon (Herbert A. Simon: The Bounds of Reason in Modern America, 2005), Hunter Heyck seeks to identify a larger “movement toward a new social science” across a wide array of disciplines from the 1930s into the 1970s (p. 1). Describing this movement as “high modernism,” Heyck treats it as having the qualities of a human mind, possessing conceptions, perceptions, intentions, and methods, and as ca…
Researching Policy for Nonprofit Organizations: A Brief Observation on Dilemmas Created by Conflicting Values
Conflicting cultural and religious values pose challenges – challenges that are too often ignored – to efforts to comprehend and to solve tough social problems. Value-conflict challenges call for much more thoughtful attention both by analysts seeking to understand the sources of problems, and by advocates for particular solutions. This contribution to the ARNOVA Policy Brief series draws on a wide range of historical and social research to advan…

Nonprofit Organizations in American History: Research Opportunities and Sources
Every question concerning U.S. nonprofit organizations and its nonprofit sector as a whole has a historical dimension. Changing state and federal laws have always determined both what nonprofit corporations and associations can do and who can join and lead them. Conflicts over individual freedom, the nature of government, the role of various religions, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and other matters have always shaped these laws. Learning about…
Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898
To European explorers, it was Eden, a paradise of waist-high grasses, towering stands of walnut, maple, chestnut, and oak, and forests that teemed with bears, wolves, racoons, beavers, otters, and foxes. Today it is the city of Broadway and Wall Street, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, and the home of millions of people, who have come from every corner of the nation and the globe. In Gotham, Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace h…

Accountability and nonprofit organizations: A historical perspective
American nonprofit organizations first developed in the nineteenth century as the organizational instruments through which Americans put their First Amendment freedoms of religion and political belief into practice.

In the twentieth century, many nonprofit organizations…

Problems in the Historical Study of Power in the Cities and Towns of the United States, 1800-1960
POWER, LIKE WEALTH AND SOCIAL STATUS, seems always to be distributed unequally, but the nature, the degree, the causes, and the consequences of inequality have surely varied from time to time and place to place. Although historians of American communities since i8oo have often been concerned with the distribution of power, they have usually approached the matter indirectly, implicitly, and incompletely. Much of the best recent work on nineteenth-…

Lynda Ann Ewen offers the first thoroughgoing Marxist-Leninist analysis, based on primary research, of the structure and dynamics of class relations and corporate power in a major U.S. metropolitan area. She contends that Detroit's urban crisis is not a temporary aberration in a good system run amuck, but the logical result of years of social planning and the use of human and natural resources for the benefit of the few. In general, analyses of t…
