Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the 'Chicago Commons,' the first settlement house in the United States. The author examines the settlement movement in the context of the social and economic conditions of the late 19th century, particularly the rapid urbanization and industrialization, and the resulting poverty and social problems in cities. The book explores the settlement's mission to provide educational, social, and cultural services, often through the lens of social justice and the idea of the 'common sharing of life'. The author discusses the significance of the settlement movement as a precursor to modern social work and community organizing, and highlights the ongoing relevance of its principles of social justice and community engagement in addressing contemporary social issues.
