Biography
James Connolly is Professor of History and Director of the Center for Middletown Studies at Ball State University. He is the author of An Elusive Unity: Urban Democracy and Machine Politics in Industrializing America (Cornell University Press) and The Triumph of Ethnic Progressivism: Urban Political Culture in Boston, 1900-1925 (Harvard University Press).  He also edited After the Factory: Reinventing America’s Industrial Small Cities (Lexington Books) and has published numerous articles and essays in edited volumes and journals such as Social Science History, the Journal of Urban History, and the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.  Connolly's research focuses on American urban, political, and ethnic history in the 1870-1930 period.  He is currently at work on “What Middletown Read,” a study of print culture and urban life at the turn of the twentieth century, in collaboration with Frank Felsenstein.

Works
The triumph of ethnic Progressivism : urban political culture in Boston, 1900-1925
Cambridge, Mass. ：Harvard University Press, 1998.
Abstract：Progressivism, James Connolly shows us, was a language and style of political action available to a wide range of individuals and groups. A diverse array of political and civic figures used it to present themselves as leaders of a communal response to the growing power of illicit interests and to the problems of urban-industrial life. In showing that the several reform visions that arose in Boston included not only the progressivism of the city's business leaders but also a series of ethnic progressivisms, Connolly offers a new approach to urban public life in the early twentieth century.
