Envisioning America and the American Self (eBook, ePUB)

Republican and Democratic Party Platforms, 1840-2016

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the Democratic and Republican Party platforms from 1840 to 2016, and considers how they narrate the 'American' self and individual freedom. As such, the author sheds light on the historical trajectory of the growing fracture in American politics as well as the points of convergence across the two parties.
