A Common Humanity: Kansas Populism and the Battle for Justice and Equality, 1854-1903

O. Gene Clanton believes that Populism remains relevant. He holds a lasting hope for the movement and calls its aspirations "an ideal of human rights, not just for the favored few but for all Americans." In his extensively updated revision of Kansas Populism: Ideas and Men, he depicts the rise and fall of Kansas Populism within general and national political contexts, and includes some previously unpublished material on its intellectual and political background. Clanton also furnishes thoughtful biographies of Populist leaders like Annie Diggs, Frank Doster, Mary Lease, William Peffer, and Jerry Simpson.
