The rich history of Kansas politics continues to generate an
abundant literature. The state's beginning as "Bleeding Kansas"
followed by Prohibition, populism, the Progressive Era, and the
Dust Bowl, through to the present day, have given local and
national writers and scholars an intriguing topic for exploration.
While historians and biographers shed light on pieces of this
history, journalists focus on current political affairs in the
state. Rarely, however, are past and present connected to fully
illuminate an understanding of Kansas politics and government. This
volume uses the prism of political cultures to interpret Kansas
politics and disclose the intimate connections between the state's
past and its current politics. The framework of political cultures
evolves from underlying political preferences for liberty, order,
and equality, and these preferences form the basis for the active
political cultures of individualism, hierarchy, and egalitarianism.
This comprehensive examination of Kansas political institutions
argues that Kansas politics, historically and presently, may best
be understood as a clash of political cultures.
