More about the book

Focusing on the historical context of white working-class conservatism, this book uncovers its roots from the Civil War to World War II, challenging the notion that such sentiments emerged solely after the 1960s. Through an in-depth examination of metal miners in the Tri-State district of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, it reveals the reasons behind their persistent opposition to labor unions and government reforms aimed at improving health and safety, even during the transformative New Deal era.
