For over fifty years the black community has almost single-mindedly supported the Democrats. We have given them the honor, trust, and obedience most people reserve for their gods. To reward our devotion, they have placed restrictions on our faith, reduced our numbers by promoting abortion, given our children substandard educations, and corrupted our morals by encouraging sexually deviant behavior.

In Though They Slay Us, Still Will We Trust Them, author Mark Linen exposes the true history and practices of the people "looking out" for the black community:...

At first glance, issues like economic inequality, healthcare, climate change, and abortion seem unrelated. However, when thinking and talking about them, people reliably fall into two camps: conservative and liberal. What explains this divide? Why do conservatives and liberals hold the positions they do? And what is the conceptual nature of those who decide elections, commonly called the "political middle"?

The answers are profound. They have to do with how our minds and brains work. Political attitudes are the product of what cognitive scientists call Embodied Cognition --...

Don't Blame Us traces the reorientation of modern liberalism and the Democratic Party away from their roots in labor union halls of northern cities to white-collar professionals in postindustrial high-tech suburbs, and casts new light on the importance of suburban liberalism in modern American political culture. Focusing on the suburbs along the high-tech corridor of Route 128 around Boston, Lily Geismer challenges conventional scholarly assessments of Massachusetts exceptionalism, the decline of liberalism, and suburban politics in the wake of the rise of the New Right and the...

The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical legacy essential in understanding the overall context of nationalism in the region as well as an overview of the far right political parties in each country.

From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy and much more. Why won't Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts?

Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments to explain why...

According to the conventional wisdom among self-declared representatives of the conservative movement, William F. Buckley is "the master" to whom conservatives owe an eternal debt of gratitude for expunging from their ranks the dregs--the racists, anti-Semites and extremists of all sorts--that threatened the movement's social respectability.

This account, however, isn't history at all. It is ideology or politics taking refuge behind the value-neutral guise of history. In reality, the conservative movement has long since been a predominantly neoconservative...

Barack Obama was one of the most popular candidates who bid for the presidency in modern time when he ran in 2008.

The book dispels all myths about Obama. It discusses his presidency in a very...

In The Reactionary Mind, Robin traces conservatism back to its roots in the reaction against the French Revolution. He argues...

Neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation around the world. For decades now, neoliberalism has been in the process of becoming a globally ascendant default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Donald Trump's recent presidential victory has been interpreted both as a repudiation and as a validation of neoliberalism's hegemony.　

Rethinking Neoliberalism brings together theorists,...

Michael Oakshott described conservatism as a non-ideological preference for the familiar, tried, actual, limited, near, sufficient, convenient and present. Historically, conservatives have been associated with attempts to sustain social harmony between classes and groups within an organic, hierarchical order grounded in collective history and cultural values. Yet, in recent decades, conservatism throughout the English-speaking world has been associated with radical social and economic policy, often championing free-market models which substitute the free movement of labour and forms of...
