With a careful eye for history, Griscom demonstrates how Texans' left-wing parties, from the populists to the socialists, organized against the Right and often won--and how reclaiming that tradition can help today's Left break the political deadlock in Texas and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Griscom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OR Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682196458","brand":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486732869769,"sku":"9781682196458","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_42e30071-4dd6-45a1-aac0-1450682f55e7.jpg?v=1775542563","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-myth-of-red-texas-cowboys-populism-and-class-war-in-the-radical-south-9781682196458","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
