Book Description: Metropolitan Books, 2004. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. New: Binding and Pages perfect. 100% guarantee. If ordered by 4pm ships same day.-----SYNOPSIS-----One of ?our most insightful social observers?* cracks the great political mystery of our time: how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank turns his eye on what he calls the ?thirty-year backlash??the populist revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment. The high point of that backlash is the Republican Party?s success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests, workers and bosses, populists and right-wingers. *****REVIEW*****Frank asks rhetorically why it is that Kansans so willingly espouse right-wing social issues (creationism, defunding public schools, prayer in schools, pro-life) while simultaneously allowing their state to become economically devastated by Republican free market policies of unfettered, unregulated capitalism ****REVIEW*****.the themes of this book are in no means particular to Kansas. I think almost every state has regions that fit the same mold. I grew up in Upstate New York, a Republican stronghold that resents NYC for turning the state blue every year. This book could've been written about my home state, too, and that's important to remember as we try to understand the current state of the nation.
