Recenzii
David Paul Kuhn tells the story in marvellous detail.
Riveting.
Engrossing, well-crafted, The Hardhat Riot… argues persuasively that the riot sparked a vast national political shift driven by a widening divide between the working class and the educated elite that has led to the era of the Trump presidency... Kuhn writes with empathy for both sides... Kuhn's accounts of the violence are vivid and raw... The author concludes with a sharp analysis of how the revolt of the White working class almost immediately reshaped American politics, beginning with Nixon's opportunistic claim of blue-collar Whites as "Silent Majority" supporters of his law-and-order presidency. Kuhn shows the reverberations over the decades, right up to the making of Donald Trump's political base... Kuhn argues that class divisions have driven people so far apart that it's as if Americans now live in 'entirely different places, even if they are still called by one name
Perhaps the best book ever on how Democrats lost the white working class. The Hardhat Riot is a great read, but also a must-read to understand the voters that Democrats neglected at their own peril."
Over the past 15 years few writers have covered this realignment with the consistency of David Paul Kuhn, whose warnings about the reasons white working people were moving away from the Democrats were largely dismissed by the news media and party elites... Mr. Kuhn remained an unacknowledged prophet... Now he has synthesized his message with a lesson from history: The Hardhat Riot, a riveting account of... [a] clash on the streets of New York [that] came to symbolize the irreconcilable division taking shape in the rest of the country... Mr. Kuhn avoids polemics and judgment, yet leads the reader to understand the deeper questions implicit in so many of today's political debates... The Hardhat Riot insightfully explains why and how this happened. Perhaps the Democratic Party's leaders will finally understand what David Paul Kuhn has been trying to tell them."
The Hardhat Riot, by David Paul Kuhn, vividly evokes... a blue-collar rampage whose effects still ripple, not the least of them being Donald Trump's improbable ascension to the presidency... this is a compelling narrative."
[An] outstanding new book... through dogged research… combining eyewitness reports with his own gifted storytelling to craft a riveting narrative. In our current intellectual climate, which seems to prize tendentiousness, it is rare to find such a clear-eyed and non-polemical work of history."
This is red-meat history with a hot splash of tabasco. David Paul Kuhn brings to life a period that is not only fascinating in itself but also illuminates the age of Donald Trump. If you want to understand how blue-collar Americans came to feel so disparaged and deplored, The Hardhat Riot is a great place to start. A truly captivating read."
David Paul Kuhn's Hardhat Riot captures a seminal but long-neglected turning point in the steady erosion of Democratic support among the core of the New Deal Coalition. The May 8, 1970, confrontation
David Paul Kuhn's revealing new book... does two things remarkably well. It reconstructs a detailed, compelling, and coherent narrative of the riot, assembled from what must have seemed a morass of contradictory sources. The book also provides critical context for the riot, documenting the mounting alienation of the white working class from the ascendant New Left, and arguing convincingly for the Hardhat Riot not so much as the day that turned the tide, but as an unmistakable harbinger of political shifts in the offing, a moment when unlikely symbols of Nixon's Silent Majority roared back, giving voice to grievances that persist to this day."
Vivid.
I picked up David Paul Kuhn's The Hardhat Riot with the intention of skimming and found myself engrossed, reading every page. Well-written, painstakingly researched, this is an important book that gives life to history and explains the divorce between working-class whites and the Democratic Party, and yet rarer still, is also a real pleasure to read."
President Trump's reelection bid rests as much as anything on the political loyalty and fealty of his blue-collar base. That they're such a factor in 2020 reflects one of the biggest shifts in American politics over the last half-century-plus. David Paul Kuhn explains why in his important new book . . . As an author, Kuhn was in many ways prescient about the rise of Trump's coalition nearly a decade before it happened . . . Kuhn's latest work explains in elegant and expert fashion how he won so much support among blue-collar white voters in the first place."
Hardhat Riot is an arresting and often chilling narrative of the events that drove a wedge between white working-class voters and the Democratic Party, setting America on the road to today's right-wing populism. I couldn't stop reading it. If you want to understand why cultural issues became central to our politics, read this book."
Kuhn makes use of masterful, disturbing imagery to capture the clash... his narration is candid... the perspectives of both sides are shared without favoritism
Trenchant... A welcome resurrection of a forgotten riot with relevance for our current fragmented political landscape."
A gripping history of a moment when two visions of America clashed
Sometimes events that are long forgotten have reverberations that dominate our times. In Hardhat Riot, David Paul Kuhn skillfully shows how the split between traditionally Democratic constituencies
David Paul Kuhn has breathed new life into an uproarious seminal event in modern political history, skillfully tracing fault lines running from the late 1960s up to the present. A timely, smart, adrenalin-fueled account conveyed with you-are-there immediacy."
David Paul Kuhn details, with much new research, the changing political conditions before and after the spring of 1970, when Nixon saw the opportunity after the May 8 Hardhat Riot. No previous book has so convincingly documented how important this single event was in changing the class base of both the Republican and Democratic parties."
It's about how elitist politicians left white, blue-collar workers feeling sold out. It's about how those lifelong Democrats
Largely through the microcosm of New York City, David Paul Kuhn's The Hardhat Riot delves deeply into the estrangement of the Democratic Party from America's blue-collar workers. For all of its fascinating detail of the travails of America's metropolis, The Hardhat Riot also offers a broad and rich panorama of American politics of the past 50 years and the most persuasive explanation for the rise of Donald Trump that has yet appeared."
