Identity Crisis
The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America
John Sides - 2018-10-30
Goodreads Rating
"Identity Crisis" is a gripping and in-depth account of the 2016 presidential election that led to Donald Trump's historic victory. The book explores the fundamental characteristics of the nation and its politics, including the state of the economy, the Obama presidency, and the demographics of the political parties. It also examines how changes in the Democratic and Republican coalitions driven by people's racial and ethnic identities, combined with the candidates' personalities and rhetoric, produced one of the most unexpected presidencies in history. This book is an epic battle not just for the White House but about what America is and should be.
