Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society: Experiences from Germany, Great Britain, and North America (Philanthropic and Nonprofit Studies)

As a practitioner, I'm grateful for scholars that think enough of philanthropy to study it with academic scrutiny and report their findings. Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society is a collection of the work of such scholars. Thomas Adam has compiled ten essays examining impact of the transatlantic influence of philanthropists and patrons on the changing cultures of Germany, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.

Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society is packed with information and new ways for practitioners to look at the roots of early modern philanthropy. I was intrigued by the way "philanthropy" has been defined over the years. I was also surprised to see how important philanthropy was in the life of Germany before the twentieth century. In fact, in his essay, Thomas Adams argues that philanthropy is not an American invention but really comes from Europe.

Because Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society is written by scholars for scholars, it is a bit dense to read. It helps if you can find a personal connection with some aspect of each chapter as I did in the sixth chapter with the discussion of Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra. (A friend of mine from high school is part of this orchestra.)

I found the section on Jewish philanthropy particularly interesting. One essay explores the different experience of the German Jews as a minority population and the U.S. Jews as just one immigrant population among many others. It's also fascinating to see how philanthropy became a bridge between Jewish people of different religious beliefs.
