"Weaving together history, religious studies, and political theory, Colin Bossen sheds new light on populisms of today by telling the story of yesterday's populisms. With clear writing and typological thinking, Bossen's important book is accessible to a broad audience. His own distinctive voice, formed in the religious left, adds power to his narrative."?Vincent Lloyd, Villanova University "If you thought you knew everything about populism, you should read this book! This compelling history of populisms in the United States in the early twentieth century carefully excavates the resources that Pan-African and pluralist populism hold for a new prefigurative politics. With these resources in hand, Colin Bossen makes clear we can resist the white supremacist populism we are all too familiar with today."?Ulrich Schmiedel, professor of global Christianities, Lund University, Sweden "This creative and astute book is a descriptive, comparative, analytical, social-ethical, and theological study of three forms of Progressive Era populism and three kinds of political theology. And it is much more than all that. Colin Bossen fashions a sophisticated scholarly argument without hiding his own strong, prefigurative, Wobbly, Unitarian Universalist viewpoint on which parts of his subject still matter.
