Descripción general del libro

This classic account of the traditional upper class in America traces its origins, lifestyles, and political and social attitudes from the time of Theodore Roosevelt to that of John F. Kennedy. Sociologist E. Digby Baltzell describes the problems of exclusion and prejudice within the community of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (or WASPs, an acronym he coined) and predicts with amazing accuracy what will happen when this inbred group is forced to share privilege and power with talented members of minority groups. “The book may actually hold more interest today than when it was first published. New generations of readers can resonate all the more to this masterly and beautifully written work that provides sociological understanding of its engrossing subject.”―Robert K. Merton, Columbia University “The documentation and illustration in the book make it valuable as social history, quite apart from any theoretical hypothesis. As such, it sketches the rise of the WASP penchant for country clubs, patriotic societies and genealogy. It traces the history of anti-Semitism in America. It describes the intellectual conflict between Social Darwinism and the environmental social science founded half a century ago by men like John Dewey, Charles A. Beard, Thorstein Veblen, Franz Boas and Frederick Jackson Turner. In short, The Protestant Establishment is a wide-ranging, intelligent and provocative book.”―Alvin Toffler, New York Times Book Review “The Protestant Establishment has many virtues that lift it above the level we have come to expect in works of contemporary social and cultural analysis. It is clearly and convincingly written.”―H. Stuart Hughes, New York Review of Books “What makes Baltzell’s analysis of the evolution of the American elite superior to the accounts of earlier writers . . . is that he exposes the connections between high social status and political and economic power.”―Dennis H. Wrong, Commentary

    This classic work should be read in tandem with its update written about 30 years later. Few analysts are as qualified as Baltzell to write about the American class structure and how it has changed over the volatile years of the late 20th century.

    The original work was almost the only text avalable to serious sociology students of social differentiation at the time it was written in the 1960's and it is still the best work on class origins' effects on social values in this country, even today.

    A Philadelphia Gentleman You Need To Know

    Baltzell is an outstandingly brave and independent thinker; as far as I know, the only sociologist worth reading besides De Tocqueville, after whom he explicitly takes. It is an indispensible work--i.e. for anyone: since how the honor and manners of the great work or don't work determines the fate of all--as Baltzell seems to be among only a handful of people to understand. If you read only one of Baltzell's books, I recommend Philadelphia Gentlemen--and not only because I am a Philadelphia Gentleman: it has the same caste vs. aristocracy reasoning in it, but it's stronger on the metropolitanization of the establishment and the bad effects of that. (Think The Good Shepherd maybe.) And it's not as hard on caste, I think. The best insight in here is, I think, that the absence of an establishment compels the powerful to be forever on campaign; they have no security and so can't lead but are forever pandering and pandering just to keep afloat--or they retreat into a padded private world since there's no framework for their leadership.

    The only dumb, or, perhaps, intellectually cowardly, feature of this book--and, again, I think Philadelphia Gentlemen is better on this point--is that Baltzell is forever urging the caste-ly to be more aristocratic-assimilationist without even addressing the question of why it should have to be, how and why it was ever put in the position of needing to do this or die: in other words, why was immigration so great and so variegated? Who let it be so? Wouldn't things have been better if not? Well, he does answer that one implicitly at least: he seems to regard ethnic quotas as wicked but he never says why. Wouldn't putting up the proverbial drawbridge for a time help assimilation? (It did from circa 1925 to 1965 when Kennedy's Immigration and Nationalities Act set in motion the processes that would irreparably destroy traditional America to the benefit of none.) I wish he would go easier on caste and delve into how a degree of ethnic homogeneity helps aristocratic assimilation work better. That's the weakness. But Baltzell is brilliant otherwise, and you can't do without him.

    Engrossing and immersive journey into the heart of America's social elite around the turn of the century. Baltzell writes about status and wealth as convincingly as any academic.

    This is a serious analysis of class in America. If you are interested in understanding America and how it got that way, The Protestant Establishment should be on your reading list. Baltzell coined the term WASP, and broke new ground in other, more important ways in this book.
    Baltzell is a very astute observer with a talent for a phrase, so the book is very readable. It's not particularly dated in style or content. However, it is a lengthy, serious study.
    Though originally published in 1964, the insights endure to today. (Perhaps because the class structure endures.) Those interested in sociology, culture or an informed understanding of history or society will enjoy this book.
    In summary ... "The book may actually hold more interest today than when it was first published. New generations of readers can resonate all the more to this masterly and beautifully written work that provides sociological understanding of its engrossing subject"--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University
