  • The Heartland Roots of Food Assistance

    Open AccessSarah T PhillipsARTICLEDiplomatic History2026

    When John F. Kennedy took presidential office in 1960, he tapped George McGovern to direct Food For Peace. This program transformed Public Law 480, established in 1954, from an overseas surplus-disposal operation into an instrument of development aid. As a congressional representative from South Dakota during the 1950s, McGovern had insisted that the costly farm surpluses piling up in government warehouses should be used abroad for humanitarian p…

  • Indian Landlords and Socialist Votes

    Sarah T PhillipsARTICLEAgricultural History2026References: 14

    In the second decade of the twentieth century, Oklahoma hosted the largest state Socialist Party in the United States. The poor white farmers who formed its base hoped that their representatives would release them from local landlords, banks, and creditors. But these tenants and sharecroppers vented their grievances from inside a shattered landscape of recent and ongoing Indigenous dispossession. They could not entomb Native people entirely insid…

  • The Iron Mess

    Sarah T PhillipsARTICLEAgricultural History2024References: 7

    While the “iron triangle” remains a useful metaphor for describing tight and inertial links among policymakers, invested beneficiaries, and administrative officials, the label historically applies only to the classic period of modern US agricultural policy, between the 1930s and 1960s. Only farm interests sat at the table, politicians gained little by challenging the isolated process, and outsiders had no pull. This changed after the 1960s and 19…

  • The Price of Plenty

    Open AccessSarah T PhillipsARTICLEJournal of American History2022Cited by: 2

    At the press conference of May 22, 1963, the first question posed to John F. Kennedy concerned civil rights: How would the president respond to Governor George Wallace's threat to block the integration of the University of Alabama? After Kennedy answered (he hoped the students would be admitted without federal involvement), reporters quickly moved on to other topics: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; India; trade negotiations wit…

  • This Land, This Nation

    Tim Lehman, Sarah T PhillipsARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2008

    This 2007 book combines political with environmental history to present conservation policy as a critical arm of New Deal reform, one that embodied the promises and limits of midcentury American liberalism. It interprets the natural resource programs of the 1930s and 1940s as a set of federal strategies aimed at rehabilitating the economies of agricultural areas. The New Dealers believed that the country as a whole would remain mired in depressio…
