What to make of the Tea Party? To some, it is a grassroots
movement aiming to reclaim an out-of-touch government for the
people. To others, it is a proto-fascist organization of the
misinformed and manipulated lower middle class. Either way, it is
surely one of the most significant forms of reaction in the age of
Obama.
In this definitive socio-political analysis of the Tea Party,
Anthony DiMaggio examines the Tea Party phenomenon, using a vast
array of primary and secondary sources as well as first-hand
observation. He traces the history of the Tea Party and analyzes
its organizational structure, membership, ideological coherence,
and relationship to the mass media. And, perhaps most importantly,
he asks: is it really a movement or just a form of "manufactured
dissent" engineered by capital? DiMaggio's conclusions are
thoroughly documented, surprising, and bring much needed clarity to
a highly controversial subject.
