American politics seems to be in an unprecedented uproar. But in this revelatory work of political history, James A. Morone shows that today's rancor isn't what's new -- the clarity of the battle lines is. Past eras were full of discord, but the most contentious question in American society -- Who are we? -- never split along party lines American politics seems to be in an unprecedented uproar. Past eras were full of discord, but each party reached out to different groups on the margins of power: immigrants, African Americans, and women. As the United States underwent profound societal transformations, the party alignment shifted. Democrats slowly evolved into the party of civil rights, immigration, and gender rights. Republicans turned whiter and more nativist. Morone shows that today's rancor isn't what's new-- the clarity of the battle lines is. -- adapted from jacket |
