Book Synopsis
Statebuilding from the Margins addresses often overlooked cases of Progressive Era policy shifts in which private citizens and civic organizations forged hybrid institutions and state alliances to enact change in arenas such as Prohibition, citizenship, animal and waste management, and housing policy.

Trade Review
"An engaging and original contribution to our understanding of a critical period in American political development. By surveying a range of different policy domains within a single historical era, these essays effectively catalogue the multiple ways in which private citizens and associations leveraged and augmented the scope of state intervention." * Elizabeth Clemens, University of Chicago *
"The Progressive Era remains as controversial as it is vital for understanding the contemporary United States. Carol Nackenoff and Julie Novkov have orchestrated a set of rich, detailed and evocative studies on themes including prohibition, urban government, environmentalism, housing, and juvenile justice that together make for a highly original contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century America." * Daniel Carpenter, Harvard University *
