Seller's Description:
Good, fair. 381, illus., notes, reading list, index, DJ worn, soiled, torn, and chipped. Examines the strange career of populist politics from the era of Thomas Jefferson to the era of William Jefferson Clinton. Kazin calls populism an impulse rather than an ideology. He defines it as a mode of political persuasion that combines anti-elitism, adoration of the common people (usually defined as hardworking, pious, and, until quite recently, white), and a belief in the American ideal of democracy.
