"This is an impressive volume. It is filled with original insights on recent federal policies on domestic issues. I can think of no work that sheds more light on why the conservative political movement was able to seep through the Clinton administration and influence its economic and social policies." William Julius Wilson, Malcolm Wiener Professor of Social Policy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University "Not just during the Reagan and Bush presidencies, but under Clinton's, social policy has veered rightwards. This excellent collection of smart, sassy, analytically-grounded essays by a first-rate group of scholars offers detailed policy analyses--spanning issues of race, the welfare state, sexuality, and the military, among other topics--and provides broad, provocative overviews of the politics of our time. It is certain to provoke fresh considerations and challenge settled views." Ira I Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University
