Drawing on an impressive range of archival and secondary sources, the chapters in the volume give particular attention to the period from the late 1920s to the late 1970s, a crucial time for the development of philanthropic practice. To this end, it examines how patterns and directions of funding have been based on complex negotiations involving philanthropic family members, elite networks, foundation trustees and officers, cultural workers, academics, state officials, corporate interests, and the general public. By addressing both the contours of philanthropic power as well as the processes through which that power has been enacted, it is hoped that this collection will reinforce and amplify the critical study of philanthropy's history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 241mmItem Length: 162mmItem Width: 29mmItem Weight: 708gContributor: Marion Wrenn (Contributions by), Manon Niquette (Contributions by), Johannes C.
