Chapter 1 discusses the process by which the British socialists appropriated Whitman’s poetry as their own. Chapter 2 traces the influence of Whitman’s literary executor, Horace Traubel, who shaped Whitman’s legacy as an American socialist. Chapter 3 explores how leaders of the radical left adapted Whitman’s memes to their own purposes, discussing Robert Ingersoll’s freethinker memes, Clarence Darrow’s humanist memes, Emma Goldman’s anarchist memes, and Eugene V. -

Through the application of social theory, the inclusion of representative objects from the National Hobo Museum, narratives of hobos, government-sponsored investigations, and the consideration of prior scholarly works, hoboing nonwork is best understood as an anti-modern, reactionary counterculture to the working-class that managed to deflect the drastic changes in class and economy at the turn of the twentieth century until its gradual demise leading up to the present day. -
Social Control and the Iww Free Speech Movement
ABSTRACT I CAN’T SPEAK: SOCIAL CONTROL AND THE IWW FREE SPEECH MOVEMENT Beginning in the spring of 1910, downtown Fresno became the center of a heated free speech strike. Police Chief Shaw ordered the arrest of members of the Industrial Workers of the World, known as Wobblies, for giving speeches on downtown street corners without a permit. Wobblies flocked to Fresno to protest the policy by attempting to give speeches and being themselves arrested. This thesis offers a rhetorical criticism of the rhetoric of control that was expressed by the ruling class of Fresno. The policies restricting speech on public streets, and local newspaper reports that were written during the strike comprised the rhetoric of control that sought to silence the Wobblies. This thesis also critiques the rhetoric of resistance produced by the IWW. This rhetoric of resistance was composed of the rhetorical acts, firsthand accounts and contemporaneous stories published in the IWW’s own press. This study examines the use of the war metaphor as found in each of these rhetorics, and it identifies the images that were used in each of these rhetorics to support the metaphor. The thesis makes the argument that in the rhetoric of control the war metaphor and the images used in its support, restricted the popular understanding of the strike resulting in negative outcomes. In the rhetoric of resistance, the war metaphor and images used by the IWW worked to build support for the union and galvanize the union membership. James K.

The old familiar problems of our com- munal and social life—poverty, crime, and vice assume new and strange forms under the conditions of modern urban existence. Inherited custom, tradi- tion, all our ancient social and political heritages human nature itself—have changed and are changing under the influence of the modern urban environ- ment. The man whose restless disposition made him a pioneer on the frontier tends to become a "homeless man*'—a hobo and a vagrant—in the modern city. From the point of view of their biological predisposi- tions, the pioneer and the hobo are perhaps the same temperamental type; from the point of view of their socially acquired traits, they are something quite different. The city, more than any other product of man's genius and labors, represents the efl^ort of mankind to remake the world in accordance with its wishes, but the city, once made, compels man to conform to the structure and the purposes he himself has imposed upon it. -

The Development of Women's Activism in Kansas
RENDERING ASSISTANCE TO BEST ADVANTAGE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN’S ACTIVISM IN KANSAS CITY, 1870 TO WORLD WAR I A DISSERTATION IN Political Science and History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by K. DAVID HANZLICK B.A., Washburn University of Topeka, 1982 M.A., George Washington University, 1990 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 K. David Hanzlick ALL RIGHTS RESERVED RENDERING ASSISTANCE TO BEST ADVANTAGE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN’S ACTIVISM IN KANSAS CITY, 1870 TO WORLD WAR I K. David Hanzlick, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines the rise of women’s activism in Kansas City between the opening of the Hannibal railroad bridge in 1869 and World War I. Women’s efforts over the course of nearly 50 years to emerge from the domestic sphere and claim space as full participants in the American polity through activism on behalf of benevolence, reform, and equality form the core of the study. The social construction of gender, class, and race, the effects of political philosophy in shaping responses to poverty, and the role of the political structure in shaping the interactions of local women with national organizations in an emerging Midwestern metropolis constitute its focus. Before the Civil War, Kansas City grew rapidly in spite of regional tensions and a Southern population that often mixed uneasily with the growing number of Northerners iii who passed through and often settled in the community.
