A political movement rallies against under regulated banks,
widening gaps in wealth, and gridlocked governments. Sound
familiar? More than a century before Occupy Wall Street, the
People's Party of the 1890s was organizing for change. They were
the original source of the term "populism," and a catalyst for the
later Progressive Era and New Deal. Historians wrote approvingly of
the Populists up into the 1950s. But with time and new voices, led
by historian Richard Hofstadter, the Populists were denigrated,
depicted as demagogic, conspiratorial, and even anti-Semitic. In a
landmark study, Walter Nugent set out to uncover the truth of
populism, focusing on the most prominent Populist state, Kansas. He
focused on primary sources, looking at the small towns and farmers
that were the foundation of the movement. The result, The Tolerant
Populists, was the first book-length, source-based analysis of the
Populists. Nugent's work sparked a movement to undo the historical
revisionism and ultimately found itself at the center of a
controversy that has been called "one of the bloodiest episodes in
American historiography." This timely rerelease of The Tolerant
Populists comes as the term finds new currency - and new scorn - in
modern politics. A definitive work on populism, it serves as a
vivid example of the potential that political movements and popular
opinion can have to change history and affect our future.
