The case of the wave of foreclosure protests that swept through the rural American Midwest during the 1930s illustrates these themes. These actions embodied a utopian understanding of agrarian society that had largely disappeared by the late 19th century: hundreds to thousands of people fixed public auctions of foreclosed farms, returning owners property and giving them a second chance to save their farm. Comparisons to later movements, including the National Farmers Organization and the protests surrounding the 1980s Farm Crisis highlight the importance of culturally catastrophic social change occurring at a breakneck pace in fomenting these types of bygone utopian actions. These activists and movements should cause scholars to re-think what it means to be conservative and how we view conservatism, helping us better understand why were seeing a contemporary resurgence in nationalist and reactionary movements across the globe. Daniel Jaster is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Eureka College, USA, and affiliated with the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work and a member at the Peace, War, and Social Conflict Laboratory at Texas Tech University. His research centers on social change: how people experience it, how they create it, and how they resist it. More specifically, he focuses on social theory, political sociology, and comparative-historical sociology, with emphases on utopias, sociological pragmatism, and social movement tactics/strategies. His work has appeared in journals such as Political Power and Social Theory, Mobilization, Social Movement Studies, Time and Society, and the Journal of Classical Sociology 001435773 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001435773 650_0 $$aAgriculture$$xSocial aspects$$zMiddle West$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001435773 650_0 $$aSociology, Rural$$zMiddle West$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001435773 650_6 $$aAgriculture$$xAspect social$$zMidwest (États-Unis)$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001435773 650_6 $$aSociologie rurale$$zMidwest (États-Unis)$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001435773 651_0 $$aMiddle West$$xRural conditions. 001435773 651_6 $$aMidwest (États-Unis)$$xConditions rurales. 001435773 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001435773 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001435773 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJaster, Daniel.$$tBygone utopias and farm protest in the rural Midwest.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030710125$$w(OCoLC)1242795784 001435773 852__ $$bebk 001435773 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-71013-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001435773 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1435773$$pGLOBAL_SET 001435773 980__ $$aBIB 001435773 980__ $$aEBOOK 001435773 982__ $$aEbook 001435773 983__ $$aOnline 001435773 994__ $$a92$$bISE
