{"product_id":"right-out-of-california-9781620971390","title":"Right Out of California","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn a major reassessment of modern conservatism, noted historian Kathryn S. Olmsted reexamines the explosive labor disputes in the agricultural fields of Depression-era California, the cauldron that inspired a generation of artists and writers and that triggered the intervention of FDR’s New Deal. \u003ci\u003eRight Out of California\u003c\/i\u003e tells how this brief moment of upheaval terrified business leaders into rethinking their relationship to American politics—a narrative that pits a ruthless generation of growers against a passionate cast of reformers, writers, and revolutionaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlmsted reveals how California’s businessmen learned the language of populism with the help of allies in the media and entertainment industries, and in the process created a new style of politics: corporate funding of grassroots groups, military-style intelligence gathering against political enemies, professional campaign consultants, and alliances between religious and economic conservatives. The business leaders who battled for the hearts and minds of Depression-era California, moreover, would go on to create the organizations that launched the careers of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. A riveting history in its own right, \u003ci\u003eRight Out of California\u003c\/i\u003e is also a vital chapter in our nation’s political transformation whose echoes are still felt today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kathryn S.
