Zusammenfassung:"Journalists, political pundits, and historians alike were shocked not just by the election of Donald Trump but also by the degree of support he won in states that Democrats had long presumed to be safe. Taken together, the seventeen essays in this collection detail the rise of Midwestern conservatism after World War II by identifying the specific policies, issues, leaders, geographic and demographic changes, controversies, and social causes that helped Midwestern conservative groups grow. It includes essays on nine different states, covering every decade of the postwar period, and looks at the conservative movement through the lenses of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Topics include the rural/urban divide, the development of a conservative intellectual program, environmentalism and its critics, responses to deindustrialization, regional support for Reagan, privatization and its consequences, mass incarceration, and the debates over same-sex marriage, abortion, and second wave feminism"--
