Politics and Culture in Modern America

Books in the series examine political and social change in the broadest dimensions from 1865 to the present, including ideas about the ways people have sought and wielded power in the public sphere and the language and institutions of politics at all levels. The series is motivated by a desire to encourage synthetic perspectives.
