How Politics Became Our Identity
Book • 2018
In *Uncivil Agreement*, Lilliana Mason examines the growing social gulf across racial, religious, and cultural lines that have come to divide neatly between the two major political parties.
She argues that group identifications have altered the way people think and feel about themselves and their opponents.
Even when Democrats and Republicans can agree on policy outcomes, they tend to view each other with distrust and prioritize party victory.
Mason combines theory from political science and social psychology to describe this 'social' type of polarization in American politics, highlighting its impact on democracy and political engagement.
