| Abstract | "This case study of Chicago, the center of the American labor movement and a bastion of Turnerism in the United States, examines and analyzes the transition of Turner ideology and practice, from initial radicalism to incorporation within the mainstream political system, and from a focus on gymnastics to adoption of American sport forms. That transition occurred rather rapidly, largely over a period of two generations, by which time American Turners admitted that they had little in common with their European brethren." |
