요약 : This dissertation investigates the growth of radical political community in America from 1890 to 1956. First, it posits an alternative conceptual framework by which to evaluate ideological formation in the American left of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through an examination of the career of socialist pastor George D. Herron. Part one of the study explores Herron's Christian ministry and emergence as a leading American socialist near the turn of the century. It considers Herron's heretofore neglected intellectual contributions to socialism and the ways in which he sought to expand ideological boundaries in the movement and define socialist political identity around unifying principles derived from Christian and communitarian intellectual traditions. Herron's universalistic conception of socialism reinterpreted religious notions of brotherhood and sacrifice for the secular purpose of nurturing socialist political "fellowship". Positioning Herron as a seminal figure within American socialism, the dissertation elaborates the fertile relationship between Christian social thought and socialist political culture.

요약 : Secondly, the dissertation analyzes the rise and decline of the Rand School of Social Science, the socialist school for workers founded by Herron in New York in 1905. Herron considered the school an experimental space for building socialist fellowship, though ultimately he exerted little control over operations beyond the founding. Part two of the study documents the school's struggle to balance Herron's democratic and ecumenical vision for socialism against calls for "practical" workers' education that urged orthodox methods and conformity with Socialist Party imperatives. During the 1910s, the school creatively blended a program of working-class ideological cultivation within a cosmopolitan environment that gave expression to a broad culture of political dissent. By the 1920s and 1930s, however, visions of a unified radical political community succumbed to Red Scare reactionaries and rancorous partisanship accompanying the advance of American communism. While falling away from its original mission, the Rand School nevertheless left a profound mark on thousands of radicals and working-class activists. My project, then, also seeks to increase our understanding of this little studied institution and those who looked upon its educational forums as genuine agents of collective social and political change in America.
