The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics

English

By (author): Daniel Schlozman Sam Rosenfeld

A major history from the Founding to our embittered present that explains the void (Politico) at the center of Americas political parties

Featured on The Ezra Klein Show and The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Americas political parties are hollow shells of what they could be, locked in a polarized struggle for power and unrooted as civic organizations. The Hollow Parties takes readers from the rise of mass party politics in the Jacksonian era through the years of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Todays parties, at once overbearing and ineffectual, have emerged from the interplay of multiple party traditions that reach back to the Founding.

Daniel Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld paint unforgettable portraits of figures such as Martin Van Buren, whose pioneering Democrats invented the machinery of the mass political party, and Abraham Lincoln and other heroic Republicans of that partys first generation who stood up to the Slave Power. And they show how todays fractious party politics arose from the ashes of the New Deal order in the 1970s. Activists in the wake of the 1968 Democratic National Convention transformed presidential nominations but failed to lay the foundations for robust, movement-driven parties. Instead, modern American conservatism hollowed out the party system, deeming it a mere instrument for power.

Party hollowness lies at the heart of our democratic discontents. With historical sweep and political acuity, The Hollow Parties offers powerful answers to pressing questions about how the nations parties became so dysfunctionaland how they might yet realize their promise.
