The Hollow Parties
The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics
Book • 2024
In 'The Hollow Parties', Daniel Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld provide a comprehensive history of American political parties, tracing their development from the Jacksonian era through the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
The book examines how these parties have become hollow shells, locked in a polarized struggle for power and disconnected from their civic roots.
It offers insights into how the parties' current state reflects broader democratic discontents and suggests paths for their renewal.
