""When Democrats Won the Heartland is an indispensable account of grassroots power in the late twentieth century, a compelling reminder that politics happens in union halls, farm fields, and community meetings as much as at the ballot box."" --Sergio M. González, author of Strangers No Longer: Latino Belonging and Faith in Twentieth-Century Wisconsin ""Cory Haala's How Democrats Won the Heartland is among the most timely and necessary works I have encountered from the emerging new generation of historians of the Midwest. Haala shines a bright light on the part of Midwestern political history that has been forgotten and is at risk of even being erased: the long-lasting, unique, and essential history of the progressive left. Furthermore, his use of local archival sources is remarkable, his writing fluid, and his enthusiasm for the topic infectious."" --Catherine Stock, author of Rural Radicals: Righteous Rage in the American Grain ""This superb political history of midwestern liberalism in the 1980s offers a richly textured invocation of a time, place, and ideology that speak directly to our present discontents."" --Daniel Schlozman, coauthor of The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics
