Richard Davis is professor of political science at Brigham Young University and chair of the United Utah Party.

Richard Davis makes a significant contribution to the field with a much-needed book-length treatment of minor parties in the United States. In addition, this book makes a major contribution by examining the role of third parties in state party politics. The scholarship is sound and the contributors unbiased; it offers the reader a clear-eyed examination of third parties at both the national and state levels and is well suited for use in undergraduate and graduate courses in American political parties." - John K. White, author of Barack Obama's America: How New Conceptions of Race, Family, and Religion Ended the Reagan Era and coauthor of Party On! Political Parties from Hamilton and Jefferson to Today's Networked Age"Beyond Donkeys and Elephants casts a bright light on American politics 'beyond' the two major parties. For a variety of reasons, and with a variety of consequences, political activists have found it useful to organize outside the Democratic and Republican Parties. Our understanding of the two-party landscape is incomplete without this picture of the rest of the system." - Hans Noel, author of Political Ideologies and Political Parties in America
