Description: "Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson reveals a person who was at once an international idealist, a structural reformer of the nation's economy, and a policy maker who was simultaneously accommodating, indifferent, resistant, and hostile to racial and gender reform. These essays were originally written for a celebration of Wilson's 150th birthday sponsored by the official national memorial to Wilson, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson House. That daylong symposium examined some of the most important and controversial areas of Wilson's political life and presidency."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Papers from a symposium held in Washington, DC, on Oct. 28, 2006 and cosponsored by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
