Or are they racists who refuse to accept Barack Obama as their president because he's not white? Change They Can't Believe In offers an alternative argument-that the Tea Party is driven by the reemergence of a reactionary movement in American politics that is fueled by a fear that America has changed for the worse. Providing a range of original evidence and rich portraits of party sympathizers as well as activists, Christopher Parker and Matt Barreto show that the perception that America is in danger directly informs how Tea Party supporters think and act. In a new afterword, Parker and Barreto reflect on the Tea Party's recent initiatives, including the 2013 government shutdown, and evaluate their prospects for the 2016 election.Tea Party movementUnited StatesPolitical participationUnited StatesHistory21st centuryGovernment, Resistance toUnited StatesHistory21st centuryProtest movementsUnited StatesHistory21st centuryAfrican Americans.America.American citizenship.American flag.American identity.American politics.Asian Americans.Barack Obama.Catholics.Gadsden flag.Jews.Ku Klux Klan.Latinos.Obamaphobia.Protestants.Tea Party.U.S. president.activism.bigotry.blacks.conservatism.conservative principles.conservatives.equal rights.equality.evangelicals.freedom.immigrants.intolerance.middle-class males.minority.out-group hostility.patriotic imagery.patriotism.political mobilization.public policy.racism.reactionary conservatives.reactionary conservativism.reactionary movement.right wing.social change.social movements.white males.Tea Party movementPolitical participationHistoryGovernment, Resistance toHistoryProtest movementsHistory322.440973Parker Christoper S.1679467Barreto Matt A967538Parker Christopher S1679468Barreto Matt A., MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823006203321Change they can't believe in4047719UNINA
