What Next? --Appendix: Methodological Considerations --Selected Bibliography --Index --About the BookRobert Smith and Richard Seltzer offer fresh insights on the decisive, and often surprising, role of presidents and presidential candidates in polarizing US politics. In a rich, multidimensional narrative, the authors show how presidential rhetoric and policies have served to divide voters along lines of class, party, race, and region. They also underscore the enduring consequences of George Wallace's, Barry Goldwater's, and George McGovern's failed presidential campaigns. Moving beyond the "guns, God, and gays" conventional wisdom, their distinctive contribution leads to an enhanced understanding of the political attitudes that have shaped today's polarized polity.Polarization (Social sciences)United StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory21st centuryPresidentsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPresidentsUnited StatesHistory21st centuryUnited StatesPolitics and government1945-1989United StatesPolitics and government1989-1993United StatesPolitics and government1933-1945United StatesPolitics and government1989-Polarization (Social sciences)Political cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryPresidentsHistoryPresidentsHistory973.92Smith Robert C(Robert Charles),1947-2023,1594161Seltzer Richard A.1951-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820832503321Polarization and the presidency3955124UNINA
