The Democrats in Turmoil

The Bitter Fights to Select a Presidential Nominee, 1896-1924

Bradley C. Nahrstadt, Independent Scholar, USA

Recounting the Democratic National Conventions in 1896, 1904, 1912, 1920, and 1924, this book details the bitter inner-party struggles that almost always led to Democratic losses in the fall The Democrats couldn’t win an election around the turn of the 20th century—not because they couldn’t find good candidates but because of the infighting and bitter nomination battles prior to and during their national conventions This book tells the story of the issues facing the country heading into the conventions and general elections, the background and personalities of the men who fought for the nomination, and the tumultuous rivalries among Democratic factions

Republican Party Activists, Candidates, and Legislators

Edited by Malliga Och, Idaho State University, USA & Shauna L. Shames, Rutgers University, USA

Congress and U.S. Veterans

From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis

Lindsey Cormack, Stevens Institute of Technology, USA

Providing a compelling look at veterans' policy, this book describes why the Republican party is considered the party for veterans despite the fact that Congressional Democrats are responsible for a greater number of policy initiatives Drawing on thousands of e-newsletters sent from Congress to constituents, Congress and U.S. Veterans argues that the distribution of veterans across districts and the Republican Party is based on government spending, which pulls Republican legislators in opposite directions This eye-opening book offers a history of veterans' programs, highlights legislative leaders and the most pressing policy areas for reform, identifies the issues most often discussed by members of Congress from each party, points out which congresspeople have acted on veterans' issues and which have not, and analyzes veteran population distribution and legislative policy preferences

The Emerging Republican Minorities

Racial and Ethnic Realignment in the Trump Era

Udi Sommer, Tel Aviv University, Israel & Idan Franco, Northwestern University, USA

How is it possible that Donald Trump, a champion of racist and anti-immigrant policies, has only attracted more minority voters since 2016? Drawing on extensive statistical analysis, this book challenges the conventional wisdom on Black, Latino, and Asian American voters Much like for white voters, minority-hostile positions on race, immigration, and China are critical in explaining how members of those same minority groups vote, even for candidates who prima facie should not win any of their support Using detailed regression models and robust empirical tests, this book demonstrates how minority constituencies are more ideologically diverse than commonly thought

Globalizing Eastern Europe

Politics, Culture and Economics from the 18th to the 21st Century

Edited by Gilad Ben-Nun, University of Leipzig, Germany, Katja Castryck-Naumann & Lena Dallywater

For far too long, views of Eastern Europe as an entrenched, deprived and peripheral region have shaped common perceptions of this area of the world. Presenting important contemporary research, Globalizing Eastern Europe offers a series of refreshing arguments to counter such misconceptions. From grain production, which rose to challenge the American Midwest, to the making of modern international law, and from emancipatory educational concepts that countered Victorian doctrines to the de-nationalisation of classical music, this volume recasts Eastern Europe as a globally active region With a contemporary focus, its contributions also provide a fresh look at current Chinese infrastructure investments in the region, at Russia’s pivotal role in climate change, and at debates regarding the uneven urban developments between core and periphery With a view to tracking historical trajectories, and an emphasis upon agency as a driving motor in global entanglements, Eastern Europe emerges as a globally engaged region In doing so, this volume further enriches the perennial debates regarding the region’s spatial and cultural boundaries

Plural Feminisms

Navigating Resistance as Everyday Praxis

Edited by Sohini Chatterjee, The University of Western Ontario, Canada & Po-Han Lee, National Taiwan University

Drawing on different understandings of feminisms, this volume archives the ways in which we engage with feminisms and imagine the mundane as a feminist site of resistance against multiple and intersectional marginalisation and oppression Chapters explore how individual subjects come to their feminist praxis through autoethnographic and other qualitative accounts, and how they offer resistant and decolonial strategies via reflection on their lived and embodied realities
