註釋
In the Spring of 2009, the Tea Party emerged onto the American political scene. In the wake of ObamaÕs election, as commentators proclaimed the Òdeath of conservatism,Ó Tax Day rallies and Tea Party showdowns at congressional town hall meetings marked a new and unexpected chapter in American conservatism. Accessible to students and general readers,
Steep: The Precipitous Rise of the Tea Party
brings together leading scholars and experts on the American Right to examine a political movement that electrified American society. Topics addressed by the volumeÕs contributors include the Tea PartyÕs roots in earlier mass movements of the Right and in distinctive forms of American populism and conservatism, the significance of class, race and gender to the rise and successes of the Tea Party, the effect of the Tea Party on the Republican Party, the relationship between the Tea Party and the Religious Right, and the contradiction between the grass-roots nature of the Tea Party and the established political financing behind it. Throughout the volume, authors provide detailed and often surprising accounts of the movementÕs development at local and national levels. In an Epilogue, the Editors address the relationship between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement.
