"This rigorous and stimulating book reveals how the labor and Christian Right movements joined direct action with partisan maneuver--and transformed American politics. When Movements Anchor Parties peers through the rancorous politics of our time to provide a fresh interpretation of how the Democratic and Republican Parties have become so polarized over the past half century. Schlozman has written a thought-provoking study of American democracy."--Sidney M. Milkis, University of Virginia "A brilliant and beautifully crafted scholarly study destined to join the pantheon of classics in American political development. Schlozman theorizes and analyzes how some social movements form durable alliances with parties--labor and the Democrats, conservative evangelicals and the Republicans--and why others fail. When Movements Anchor Parties enriches contemporary debates about polarization, party networks, ideology, and coalition building."--Thomas E. Mann, Brookings Institution "Scholars increasingly realize that political parties and social movements cannot be fully understood in isolation from one another. When Movements Anchor Parties offers a richly informed and insightful account of two fateful and durable alliances: the labor movement with FDR's Democrats and the Christian Right with Reagan's Republicans. Schlozman's illuminating book highlights the influence of these developments on contemporary American politics."--David Karol, University of Maryland "This is a book of remarkable insight and impressive historical scope. The extensiveness of Schlozman's research is jaw-dropping. When Movements Anchor Parties will become essential reading for scholars of political parties, interest groups, and social movements, and will be a fixture in syllabi on American political development. This is a very important book." --Daniel J. Galvin, author of Presidential Party Building: Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush
