Abstract

During the six decades since publication of John Hicks's The Populist Revolt, scholars have produced highly diverse interpretations of the Populist movement of the 1890s. Scott G. McNall, professor of sociology at the University of Kansas, contributes to that dialogue by using Kansas Populism to explore concepts in political economy and especially in the nature of class identity.
