Partisans: The Conservative Revolutionaries Who Remade American Politics in t...

Product Overview

Format: Hardcover

A bold new history of modern conservatism that finds its origins in the
populist right-wing politics of the 1990s Ronald Reagan has long been lionized
for building a conservative coalition sustained by an optimistic vision of
American exceptionalism, small government, and free markets. But as historian
Nicole Hemmer reveals, the Reagan coalition was short-lived; it fell apart as
soon as its charismatic leader left office. In the 1990s — a decade that has
yet to be recognized as the breeding ground for today’s polarizing politics —
changing demographics and the emergence of a new political-entertainment media
fueled the rise of combative far-right politicians and pundits. These
partisans, from Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich to Rush Limbaugh and Laura
Ingraham, forged a new American right that emphasized anti-globalism, appeals
to white resentment, and skepticism about democracy itself. Partisans is
essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the crisis of American
politics today.
