More specifically, the author considers the land question through the anti-monopolist reform movements it inspired in late nineteenth-century California. The Golden State was a squatter's republic--a society of white men who claimed no more land than they could use, and who promised to uphold agrarian republican ideals and resist monopoly, the nemesis of democracy. Their opposition to land monopoly became entwined with public discourse on Mexican land rights, industrial labor relations, immigration from China, and the rise of railroad and other corporate monopolies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamara Venit Shelton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520289099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520289093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Tamara Venit Shelton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946701586687,"sku":"9780520289093","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_385f6105-1b9c-44b7-8130-42b3aed8271f.jpg?v=1681514642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/squatters-republic-tamara-venit-shelton-9780520289093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
