Connecting Addams’s pragmatism to social theory, political philosophy, queer theory, postcolonial theory, and more, the book’s twelve authors sympathetically and critically explore Addams’s ongoing relevance to issues of art, culture, sexuality, prostitution, religion, cosmopolitanism, public\/private divisions, and community organization. Scholarly experts on Addams, as well as those discovering her feminist pragmatism for the first time, will find this volume valuable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Shannon Sullivan,The Pennsylvania State University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Maurice Hamington has brought together an exciting, readable, and intellectually challenging group of articles on Jane Addams.
