Author Description

"At the end of the 1960s, Kevin Phillips, battling conventional wisdom, correctly foretold the dawn of a new era. His book The Emerging Republican Majority became an indispensable guide for conservatives through the 1970s and 1980s - and, indeed, for all those attempting to understand political change at the time. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, with the presidency and the House in Republican hands, political experts John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira convincingly use hard data - demographic, geographic, economic, and political - to forecast the dawn of a new progressive era. Their book, The Emerging Democratic Majority, is the guide to this era."--BOOK JACKET.
