The Hollow Parties

The Hollow Parties explores the history of America's political parties, from their origins in the Jacksonian era to the current era shaped by figures like Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Crafted by Daniel Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld, the book examines how party traditions have evolved and contributed to the polarization and dysfunction seen today. Through vivid portraits of historical figures and analysis of political shifts, it seeks to understand the decline of robust party organizations and considers possibilities for revitalizing them.
