1. "What's the Matter With Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America (2004)
Sun Oct 10, 2021, 02:13 PM

is a book by American journalist and historian Thomas Frank, which explores the rise of populist anti-elitist conservatism in the United States, centering on the experience of Kansas, Frank's native state. In the late 19th century, says Frank, Kansas was known as a hotbed of the left-wing Populist movement, but in recent decades, it has become overwhelmingly conservative."

Great read. Helps explain why places like Kansas have shifted so far to the right.
