More Than Blue, More Than Yankee: Complexity and Change in New England Politics
Editat de Amy Fried, Erin O'Brienen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2024
This collection of new essays captures both the political history and contemporary moment in this region and exposes the surprisingly varied political landscape. It examines historical shifts, regional developments, and the politics of its states to argue that New England has been and continues to be an important part of the national political puzzle, from demonstrating democratic principles in early America to producing major contemporary figures such as Elizabeth Warren, Ayanna Pressley, and Susan Collins. The political shifts at work in New England mirror the South’s transformation, but have received much less attention. This volume corrects that omission by profiling political movements and candidates, political rhetoric from activists to pundits, and demographics and voting in each state as well as the region as a whole.
In addition to material by the editors, this important collection includes contributions from Rachael V. Cobb, Jerold Duquette, Christopher J. Galdieri, Jane JaKyung Han, Douglas B. Harris, Luis Jiménez, Scott McLean, James Melcher, Maureen Moakley, Paul Petterson, and Dante J. Scala.

Recenzii
“This book makes a tremendous addition to understanding state and local government. It specifically captures how national parties’ stances on issues differ from the region’s outlook in politics. This is a critical intervention because there is little modern scholarship in this area, and many outsiders and the media tend to frame New England as simply a ‘blue’ region.”—Jonathan L. Wharton, author of Democracy in New England: A Community Politics Reader
“Combining the forces of some of New England’s best political scientists, More than Blue, More than Yankee offers a detailed and comprehensive account of New England’s shifting partisan dynamics over the last century. A necessary, compelling, and well-executed book.”—John Cluverius, University of Massachusetts Lowell
