About This Item
Picador, 2005. Paperback. Like New. With a New Afterword by the Author The New York Times bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests" -(Molly Ivins) Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" (Chicago Tribune ), "very funny and very painful" (San Francisco Chronicle), and "in a diffe rent league from most political books" (The New York Observer), 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? With h is acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining h is 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 w hat he calls the "thirty-year backlash"-the popular revolt against a suppos edly liberal establishment-Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans. A brilliant analysis-and funny to boot-What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.
