Ranging from upheavals in Crown Heights and Los Angeles to the advent of David Duke and the heartland survivalists, the broadcasts of Rush Limbaugh, and the bitter disputes between neoconservatives and the “paleo-con” right, Ganz immerses us in a time when what Philip Roth called the “indigenous American berserk” took new and ever-wilder forms. In the 1992 campaign, Pat Buchanan's and Ross Perot’s insurgent populist bids upended the political establishment, all while Americans struggled through recession, alarm about racial and social change, the specter of a new power in Asia, and the end of Cold War-era political norms. Conspiracy theories surged, and intellectuals and activists strove to understand the “Middle American Radicals” whose alienation fueled new causes. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton appeared to forge a new, vital center, though it would not hold for long.In a rollicking, eye-opening book, Ganz narrates the fall of the Reagan order and the rise of a new and more turbulent America.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: John Ganz, Eric Jason Martin, Macmillan AudioGenre: HistoryISBN-10: 0374605440Item Weight: 300gNarrator: Eric Jason MartinType: 20th CenturyItem Width: 37mmRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
