Description
Party Ideologies in America, 1828–1996 provides a detailed historical examination of the ideological transformations within America’s major political parties over nearly two centuries. John Gerring traces how the Republican and Democratic parties have fundamentally reimagined their core principles, constituencies, and policy positions throughout American history.
The work analyzes pivotal moments of ideological realignment, including the New Deal era, the Civil Rights movement, and the conservative resurgence of the late twentieth century. Gerring demonstrates how economic interests, regional divisions, and social movements have shaped party ideology across different historical periods.
This scholarly work is essential for understanding American political history and the origins of contemporary partisan divisions. By examining the long arc of party ideology, Gerring illuminates how historical contexts influenced the development of modern American politics.
