Upending American Politics -Putnam, Tervo & Skocpol on Zoom

We are delighted to announce we have rescheduled our kick off to our election year book events with a discussion of Upending American Politics; Polarizing Parties, Ideological Elites, and Citizen Activists from the Tea Party to the Anti-Trump Resistance offers a fresh perspective on recent, radical turns in American politics, from the Tea Party to anti-Trump resistance groups.
- Analyzes both conservative and progressive activism at national and state levels
- Focuses on recent and newly changing organizational configurations in the U.S.
- Argues for and demonstrates the use of many new measures that add to what can be learned from national surveys and statistical election studies

We are thrilled to welcome contributor Lara Putnam and co-editors Caroline Tervo and Theda Skocpol.
