WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS? (SPECIAL OFFER : FREE DELIVERY)
What's the Matter with Kansas unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests. Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas-a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars. Charting what he calls the thirty-year backlash - the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment-Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.
