Description
Morone, author of Hellfire Nation: The Politics of Sin in American History “In a lively and illuminating fashion, De Luca and Buell chart the politics of demonization in America, placing its temptations into correspondence with the sacrifices it imposes on democratic life.” captures the power of demonization in our polarized politics, though as the authors rightly point out, this is deeply rooted in our history and political economy. In this compelling and cogent account, Tom De Luca and John Buell chart the rise of what they rightly label as the “demonization” of American politics, showing how political campaigns often neglect debates over policy in favor of fights over the private character and personal lives of politicians.
