In The Populist Persuasion, the distinguished historian Michael
Kazin guides readers through the expressions of conflict between
powerful elites and "the people" that have run through our civic
life, filling it with discord and meaning from the birth of the
United States until the present day. Kazin argues persuasively that
the power of populism lies in its adaptable nature. Across the
political spectrum, commentators paste the label on forces and
individuals who really have just one big thing in common: they are
effective at blasting "elites" or "the establishment" for harming
the interests and betraying the ideals of "the people" in nations
that are committed, at least officially, to democratic principles.
Kazin's classic book has influenced debates over populism since its
publication. The new preface to this edition brings the story up to
date by charting the present resurgence of populist discourse,
which was front and center in the 2016 elections and in the Brexit
debate.
