DESCRIPTION:New Book Release / Author Event\nA Talk By Doug McAdam,\nRay Lyman Wilbur 
 Professor of Sociology, Stanford University\n\nBy many measures the United 
 States has not been more divided politically or economically in the last 
 hundred years than it is now. How have we gone from the striking bipartisan 
 cooperation and relative economic equality of the war years and post-war 
 period to the extreme inequality and savage partisan divisions of 
 today?\n\nIn this sweeping look at American politics from the Depression to 
 the present, Doug McAdam and Karina Kloos argue that party politics alone 
 is not responsible for the mess we find ourselves in. Instead, it was the 
 ongoing interaction of social movements and parties that, over time, pushed 
 Democrats and Republicans toward their ideological margins, undermining the 
 post-war consensus in the process. The Civil Rights struggle and the white 
 backlash it provoked reintroduced the centrifugal force of social movements 
 into American politics, ushering in an especially active and sustained 
 period of movement/party dynamism, culminating in today’s tug of war 
 between the Tea Party and Republican establishment for control of the 
 GOP.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/10/20/18763058.php
