What Happens To Social Movements In Rural Settings When They Do Not Face The Divisive Issues Of Race And Class? Marilyn Watkins Examines The Stable Political Climate Built By Successive Waves Of Populism, Socialism, The Farmerlabor Movement, And The Grange In Turnofthecentury Western Washington. She Shows How All Of These Movements Drew On The Same Community Base, Empowered Farmers, And Encouraged Them In The Belief That Democracy, Independence, And Prosperity Were Realizable Goals. Indeed They Were In A Setting Where Agriculture Was Diversified, Farmers Were Debtfree, And Critically Women Enjoyed Equal Status As Activists In Social Movements.Rural Democracy Illuminates The Problems That Undermined Populism And Other Forms Of Rural Radicalism In The South And The Midwest By Demonstrating The Political Success Of Those Movements Where Such Problems Were Notably Absent: In Lewis County, Washington. By So Doing, Watkins Convincingly Demonstrates The Continuing Value Of Local Community Studies In Understanding The Largescale Transformations That Continue To Sweep Over Rural America.
