Despite the vast changes in plantation agriculture following the
Civil War and Reconstruction, the lot of small farmers was little
improved. Examining the nonplantation region of upcountry Georgia
as a microcosm of the South, Steven Hahn showed how farmers were
buffeted by such forces as the unravelling of antebellum household
economy, the development of market forces, the growth of a new
class of merchants-landlords, and rising tensions between town and
countryside - and how their resentments fueled the Populist
movement at the end of the 19th century. For this updated edition,
Hahn will add new material to discuss how the book has stood up
since it was published over twenty years ago, how the arguments and
questions were received, and what influence they may have had on
scholarship. He will also consider what has happened to historical
interest in Populism, poor white people and populist politics, as
well as why he thinks it likely that interest may revive and what
sort of questions and arguments may drive it.
