"Drunk on tax cuts, favors for corporations and above all else, their undying lust for the culture wars most of us lost interest in years ago, conservatives have driven Middle America into a ditch, Mr. Frank argues in this brilliant book. His examination of how the right has prolonged the battles over pop culture, abortion and religion (and meanwhile accrued great power and financial gain) will not single-handedly eject President Bush from the White House-but it does contain the kind of nuanced ideas that should be talking points for the Kerry campaign . . . Mr. Frank's willingness to scold his own side; his irreverence and his facility with langua≥ his ability to make the connections that other writers fail to make-all of this puts What's the Matter with Kansas? in a different league from most of the political books that have come out in recent years. Even better, its understanding of the methodology that has given Republicans the Presidency and control of both houses of Congress makes it a road map for upending the G.O.P. Here's hoping somebody slips a copy to John Kerry."-Kevin Canfield, The New York Observer "When I read Thomas Frank, I hear a faint bugle in the background. It's the cavalry-to-the-rescue call: There you are, surrounded by Republicans-outmanned, outgunned, and damn near out of both ammunition and humor-when up shows Thomas Frank. A heartland populist, Frank is hilariously funny on what makes us red-staters different from blue-staters (not), and he actually knows evangelical Christians, antiabortion activists, gun-nuts, and Bubbas. I promise y'all, this is the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests. And Frank explores the subject with scholarship, understanding, passion, and-thank you, Mark Twain-such tart humor."-Molly Ivins "This is the true story of how conservatives punk'd a nation. Tom Frank has stripped the right-wing hustle to its core: It is bread and circuses-only without bread. Written like poem, every line in its perfect place, What's the Matter with Kansas? is the best new book I've read in years, on any subject."-Rick Perlstein, author of Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of American Consensus "A wise reporter and a splendid wit; Tom Frank understands the grassroots Right as well as anyone in America. He is the second coming of H. L. Mencken-but with much better politics."-Michael Kazin, author of The Populist Persuasion: An American History "What's the Matter with Kansas? is the most insightful analysis of American right-wing pseudopopulism to come along in the last decade. As for Kansas: However far it's drifted into delusion, you've got to love a state that could produce someone as wickedly funny, compassionate, and non-stop brilliant as Tom Frank."-Barbara Enhrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed "Frank combines top-flight journalism with first-person reflections to dig deep into the Kansas psyche. Both exhilarating and a little scary, What's the Matter with Kansas? should help flat-landers and coastal types alike understand how traditional Republicanism gave way to the politics of the Christian Right in the heart of the heart of the country."-Burdett Loomis, professor and chair, Department of Political Science at the University of Kansas "A fire-and-brimstone essay on false consciousness on the Great Plains. 'The poorest county in America . . . is on the Great Plains, a region of struggling ranchers and dying farm towns,' writes native Kansan and Baffler founding editor Frank, 'and in the election of 2000 the Republican candidate for president, George W. Bush, carried it by a majority greater than 80 percen

  • Review of What's the Matter with Kansas by Thomas Frank

    What's the matter With Kansas is a socio-political commentary on the political behavior blue collar rural Americans. Despite what some may be tempted to say it is not a left leaning book. The author simply looks at what is in the economic best interest of a particular demographic subgroup and analyzes their seemingly mismatched voting behavior in light thereof and examines reasons behind this mismatch. I bought What's the Matter With Kansas because it was recommended to me. I was given a pretty thorough description of the book before I purchased it and was not at all surprised by what the book said. I found it well written. The author was not overly verbose nor was he succinct to the point of sacrificing information of quality. This book is a pleasant read no matter one's party ...

  • Shocking Read!

    I live in Kansas, and pretty much knew what their problem was. However, reading the history and information in this book just made me even angrier people don't get it! Kansans need to quit watching shiny objects and wake up!

    Thomas Frank lays out why millions of Americans vote against their own best interests regularly. Particularly timely.
