Download Deeply Divided: Racial Politics and Social Movements in Post-War America AudioBook Free
By many actions - commonsensical or statistical - the United States has not been more divided politically or economically in the last century than it is currently. How have we gone from the dazzling bipartisan assistance and relative economical equality of the conflict years and post-war period to the extreme inequality and savage partisan divisions of today? In such a sweeping check out American politics from the Major depression to the present, Doug McAdam and Karina Kloos claim that party politics together is not responsible for the clutter we find ourselves in. Instead, it was the ongoing connection of social activities and get-togethers that, over time, pressed Democrats and Republicans toward their ideological margins, undermining the post-war consensus along the way. The Civil Rights have difficulty and the white backlash it provoked reintroduced the centrifugal force of social activities into American politics, ushering within an especially energetic and sustained period of motion/party dynamism, culminating in the current tug of conflict between the Tea Party and Republican establishment for control of the GOP. In Deeply Divided, McAdam and Kloos depart from proven explanations of the traditional turn in the United States and trace the root base of political polarization and economical inequality back to the moving racial geography of American politics in the 1960s. Angered by Lyndon Johnson's more aggressive embrace of civil rights reform in 1964, Southern Dixiecrats discontinued the Democrats for the very first time in history, establishing in movement a sustained regional realignment that could, in time, help as the electoral foundation for a resurgent and increasingly more conservative Republican Party.
