Charles Postel

Charles Postel (born 1954) is an American historian and professor at San Francisco State University.[1] He studied at Laney College before receiving his B.A. from UC-Berkeley in 1995, and his Ph.D. from UC-Berkeley in 2002. Postel's scholarship focuses on Populism and social movements, and the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. He is best known for his book The Populist Vision, about which the Longview Institute said,

Elegantly written, meticulously researched, The Populist Vision is an enthralling history of the movement that created the most pervasive political impulse in American politics. Postel’s book has won both the Frederick Jackson Turner and Bancroft awards, which it justly deserves. His work also helps us to understand the actual Populist Vision that lies behind the superficial and shallow rhetoric to which we’ve been subjected during this election year.[2]
