Scholar Profiles: Professor Charles Postel

El Dorado Films, in partnership with Veteran Documentary Corps, presents a Scholar Profile on Professor Charles Postel, San Francisco State University.
In this thought-provoking profile, we delve into the world of Charles Postel, a distinguished professor at San Francisco State University's History Department. Postel's scholarly journey takes us through the complex interplay of political ideas and societal shifts, as explored in his insightful books "Equality: An American Dilemma, 1866-1896" and "The Populist Vision." These works illuminate the transformative social movements sparked by African Americans, farmers, workers, and women following the Civil War, and the 1890s Populist movement's challenge to corporate dominance in American politics. The film also touches on Postel's research into conservative and right-wing nationalist movements, as well as his current focus on the African American experience during World War II. Highlighting his collaboration on the 2023 short film "Carson Bigbee: The Pirate of America's Pastime" with El Dorado Films and the Veteran Documentary Corps, the narrative weaves a rich tapestry of historical insight and academic dedication.
