Who should have the right to own land, and how much of it? A
Squatter's Republic follows the rise and fall of the land question
in the Gilded Age - and the rise and fall of a particularly
nineteenth-century vision of landed independence. More
specifically, the author considers the land question through the
anti-monopolist reform movements it inspired in late
nineteenth-century California. The Golden State was a squatter's
republic - a society of white men who claimed no more land than
they could use, and who promised to uphold agrarian republican
ideals and resist monopoly, the nemesis of democracy. Their
opposition to land monopoly became entwined with public discourse
on Mexican land rights, industrial labor relations, immigration
from China, and the rise of railroad and other corporate
monopolies.
