Affairs of party, Jean Baker asserts, were a central feature of
public life in nineteenth-century America. In this book she
explores the way in which the Northern Democrats of the
mid-eighteen hundreds lived their public lives. She begins with a
psychobiographical explanation of how people became Democrats,
weighing the importance of such influences as education and family
life. She then discusses two major elements that set Democrats
apart from members of other political organizations: a modified
Republican ideology tailored to the circumstances of the Civil War,
and a mordant racism conveyed most strikingly through minstrelsy.
Finally, Baker studies the neglected subject of partisan behavior,
concentrating on the significance of parades, voting, and other
rituals. In Affairs of Party Jean Baker brings together the three
basic components of a political cultureaeducation, thought, and
behavioraand provides an understanding of the collective values of
Northern Democrats and an insight into the elusive meaning of party
experience. In her new preface, Professor Baker places her book in
the context of both recent scholarship and recent political and
cultural developments.
