Building A Democratic Political Order explores the dramatic changes in American politics that occurred during the 1930s and 1940s-including the growth of the federal government, the emergence of a new labor movement, the Cold War and domestic anti-Communism, and the opening of national political debate about civil rights. Democratic progressive liberalism recast American political institutions and discourses in ways that went well beyond what was expected in the early 1930s, and in forms strong enough to endure for several decades after Roosevelt's death. | Building a Democratic Political Order by David Plotke, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
