[Signed] Baltzell, E. Digby. The Protestant Establishment, Aristocracy & Caste in America. First Edition. 1964. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good condition—jacket shows edgewear, rubbing, and fraying.
This is considered one of the most significant books on social history from the latter half of the 20th Century. Its ambition was not to praise the WASP but to encourage him to become more inclusive. Baltzell was a conservative who believed that only with racial and gender equality would his brand of conservatism prevail. He warned WASPs that unless they removed ethnic and cultural barriers to their ranks, they would lose influence.Â
