'With the rise and now potential decline of the Tea Party movement, we have been sorely in need of a volume explaining this pivotal early 21st-century conservative mobilization. With Van Dyke and Meyer's edited volume, containing chapters written by scholars foremost in their field, we now have the definitive source on this fascinating and important social movement.' Holly McCammon, Vanderbilt University, USA'When the Tea Party movement erupted, it challenged mainstream politics and scholars: where did the Tea Party's resources come from? Who were its supporters? What defined their goals and identities? In this volume, some of the most insightful scholars of social movements today provide convincing answers to these questions. Better than any other, this volume shows why the Tea Party emerged and how it has reshaped the political landscape.'Jack A. Goldstone, George Mason University, USA
