Bibliography. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. During World War II the author fought with the United States Army in Europe. After the war he studied on a veteran's loan and graduated from Columbia University. He went on there to earn a master's degree and a doctorate in history. The author was the Distinguished Professor of History, Baruch College and The Graduate Center, The City University of New York. Dr. Pessen was a Jacksonian scholar and also specialized in the study of social mobility. Dr. Pessen taught history for 40 years. At the City University of New York Graduate Center and Baruch College, he was chosen teacher of the year and had served as chairman of the History Department. He was noted for Riches, Class, and Power before the Civil War (A National Book Award finalist for history). Until publication of Riches, Classes, and Power, Alexis de Tocquerville's vision of the United States as a generally egalitarian nation predominated. While historians might quarrel about the social sources of egalitarianism, they did not dispute the soundness of the basic model; and Tocqueville's vision clearly dominated American's sense of itself as well. Pessen decided to find out whether the facts of American life sustained Tocqueville's conclusions. Riches, Class, and Power, represents more than five years' intensive research on the wealth, family backgrounds, careers, marriages, residential patterns, uses of leisure, life-styles, social standing, and influence and power of the wealthy in four of the five largest cities in the United States before the Civil War. Pessen examines New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and the then-separate city of Brooklyn in the 1820s and 1840s. His claim is that the massive evidence on urban life of the time sharply refutes Tocqueville's thesis. Artikel-Nr. 78728
