Reviews

"“Respect and Loathing in American Democracy breaks much new ground. It brings normative insight to bear on fresh data to illuminate a problem at the core of democracy in our time: why people have such a hard time respecting those on the other side of our polarized partisan divide. An important book.” -- Stephen Macedo | Princeton University “Spinner-Halev and Theiss-Morse take their own road to assessing what ails American politics. Whereas there are numerous books and articles on racism/identity, nationalism, and white working-class politics, Respect and Loathing in American Democracy tells a novel story that is thoughtful, rich in evidence, and engaging."" -- Matthew Wright | University of British Columbia"
