Some of today鈥檚 premier experts on Woodrow Wilson contribute to this new collection of essays about the former statesman, portraying him as a complex, even paradoxical president. Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson reveals a person who was at once an international idealist, a structural reformer of the nation鈥檚 economy, and a policy maker who was simultaneously accommodating, indifferent, resistant, and hostile to racial and gender reform.

Wilson鈥檚 progressivism is discussed in chapters by biographer John Milton Cooper and historians Trygve Throntveit and W. Elliot Brownlee. Wilson鈥檚 philosophy about race and nation is taken up by Gary Gerstle, and his gender politics discussed by Victoria Bissel Brown. The seeds of Wilsonianism are considered in chapters by Mark T. Gilderhus on Wilson鈥檚 Latin American diplomacy and war; Geoffrey R. Stone on Wilson鈥檚 suppression of seditious speech; and Lloyd Ambrosius on entry into World War I. Emily S. Rosenberg and Frank Ninkovich explore the impact of Wilson鈥檚 internationalism on capitalism and diplomacy; Martin Walker sets out the echoes of Wilson鈥檚 themes in the cold war; and Anne-Marie Slaughter suggests how Wilson might view the promotion of liberal democracy today.

These essays were originally written for a celebration of Wilson鈥檚 150th birthday sponsored by the official national memorial to Wilson鈥攖he Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars鈥攊n collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson House. That daylong symposium examined some of the most important and controversial areas of Wilson鈥檚 political life and presidency.
