ABSTRACT
Actually, Frank believes the working class of Kansas has been abandoned by the left, with nowhere to turn but activism drained of any economic interpretation, and suggests the anti-evolution activists may be Pentecostal Abbie Hoffmans, cooking up new ways to freak out the snobs. Still, there is a whiff of the false consciousness argument here, because Frank leaves the impression that religion is something people turn to when the role of business is removed from their politics. So rightwingers can dismiss him as just another secularist trying to reimpose his atheistic worldview on the faithful. Kansas is too good a book to allow that attack to succeed. In defense, I would offer the following CDs and books to elaborate beyond Frank’s basic argument.
