The Populist Vision

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Populist Vision offers an innovative re-evaluation. It argues that the Populists were modern people, rejecting the notion that Populism opposed modernity and progress. Looking at Populism as a national movement, it focuses on farmers but also wage-earners and bohemian urbanites. It examines topics from technology, business, and women's rights, to government, race, and religion.
