Opis

In The Cities on the Hill, Thomas Ogorzalek argues that the answer lies not in the sectional divide, but in the urban-rural divide. To that end, he focuses on how the latter divide shaped the trajectory and geography of partisan politics in America, and locates its roots in the New Deal.

Recenzje

"The Cities on the Hill is an exemplary and pioneering book by Thomas K. Ogorzalek. The bookâs title alone provides a helpful preview, as it brings together disparate bodies of research on urban politics, Congress, racial and ethnic politics, and political parties. - Perspectives on Politics
