Beskrivning

There is little doubt that increasing polarization over the last decade has transformed the American political landscape. In The Other Divide, Yanna Krupnikov and John Barry Ryan challenge the nature and extent of that polarization. They find that more than party, Americans are divided by involvement in politics. On one side is a group of Americans who are deeply involved in politics and very expressive about their political views; on the other side is a group much less involved in day-to-day political outcomes. While scholars and journalists have assumed that those who are most vocal about their political views are representative of America at large, they are in fact a relatively small group whose voices are amplified by the media. By considering the political differences between the deeply involved and the rest of the American public, Krupnikov and Ryan present a broader picture of the American electorate than the one that often appears in the news.

Recensioner i media

'Scholars, pundits, and citizens spend an enormous amount of time trying to figure out why the political sides are so divided in contemporary American politics. In this provocative, path-breaking book, Krupnikov and Ryan offer a fundamental reorientation of what we know about polarization. They persuasively argue that the real divide in American politics is between the involved and the uninvolved. Moreover, the small number of involved citizens fundamentally differ from most Americans. This is true regarding their demographics, beliefs, levels of political polarization, parenting, how they express themselves, and how journalists cover them. These differences bisect the parties themselves. The book makes clear that involvement too is not a panacea for democracy, which requires all kinds of citizens and not just involved ones. This book sets the agenda for the next generation of work in American politics: do not dismiss or chastise the less engaged; instead, understand and value them.' James N. Druckman, Northwestern University
