What makes it so difficult to enact and sustain comprehensive
social welfare policy that would aid the disadvantaged in the
United States? Addressing the relationship between populism and
social welfare, this book argues that two competing camps of
populists divide American politics. Regressive populists motivated
by racial resentment frequently clash with progressive populists,
who embrace an expansion of social welfare benefits for the less
affluent, regardless of race or ethnicity. Engstrom and Huckfeldt
uncover the political forces driving this divided populism, its
roots in the aftermath of the civil rights revolution of the
mid-twentieth century, and its implications for modern American
politics and social welfare policy. Relying on a detailed analysis
of party coalitions in the US Congress and the electorate since the
New Deal, the authors focus on the intersection between race,
class, and oligarchy.
