The Settlement Idea: A Vision of Social Justice by Arthur C. Holden is a book that explores the concept of settlement houses and their role in promoting social justice. Settlement houses were established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as community centers that provided services and resources to immigrants and low-income residents in urban areas. Holden examines the history of settlement houses and the philosophy behind them, arguing that they represent a vision of social justice that has been largely forgotten in modern society.The book begins by providing a historical overview of settlement houses, tracing their origins in England and their spread to the United States. Holden then discusses the philosophy of settlement houses, which was based on the idea of ""neighborliness"" and the belief that people of different backgrounds could come together to create a more just and equitable society. He explores the various services that settlement houses provided, including education, healthcare, and social services, and how these services helped to empower marginalized communities.Holden also examines the impact of settlement houses on American society, arguing that they played a crucial role in promoting social justice and advancing the cause of democracy. He discusses the challenges that settlement houses faced, including funding and political opposition, and the reasons why they declined in popularity in the mid-20th century.Overall, The Settlement Idea: A Vision of Social Justice is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on an important chapter in American history. It offers a compelling argument for the continued relevance of settlement houses and their vision of social justice in today's society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
