Race, Gender, and Class in the Tea Party moves beyond simplistic stereotypes to capture the complex ideological beliefs of Tea Party organizers. Author Meghan Burke convincingly illustrates how Tea Party understandings are not on the fringe, but are clearly connected to mainstream beliefs about race, gender, and class. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of this influential group. -- Ashley Woody Doane, University of Hartford An important and fresh look at the Tea Party. Meghan Burke masterfully portrays the complexities of a movement in which democratic impulses and women's empowerment coexist with support for continued inequalities of race and social class. Essential reading for all students of modern American politics. -- Kathleen M. Blee, University of Pittsburgh; author of Inside Organized Racism: Women in the Hate Movement
