| Abstract | "How did America get here? In The Politics of Social Change, Larry M. Bartels and Katherine J. Cramer find the seeds of America's current political turmoil in the diverse reactions of its citizens to six decades of rapid social change. Their analysis draws on a unique scientific resource: the longest-running systematic study ever attempted to track individual American's political attitudes and behavior, comprising interviews conducted over the past several decades with hundreds of people who graduated from high school in 1965. By tracing the responses of the Class of '65 to the major events of their political lifetimes - including the Civil Rights and Women's Rights movements, the Vietnam War, the shifting role of religion, escalating economic inequality, immigration, and the rise of Donald Trump - the authors shed new light on the evolution of public opinion, the meaning of citizenship, and the unsteady progress of American democracy"-- Provided by publisher. |
