It has been all too tempting to characterize the Tea Party as an
irrational, racist, astro-turf movement composed of members who are
working to subvert their own economic interests. Race, Gender, and
Class in the Tea Party reveals a much messier and much more
fascinating analysis of this movement. Drawing upon in-depth
interviews with organizers and fieldwork at conservative campaign
trainings and conventions, its rich ethnographic data explores how
the active folks in this movement, specifically organizers in one
Midwestern state, understand their world, and how they act on that
basis to change it. As this book will reveal, most Tea Party
organizers do depend on deeply flawed understandings of race and
class-either believing wholeheartedly in myths, or confining their
analyses to the narrow limits of the conservative media system.
Yet, Tea Party racism is simply American racism. Race, Gender, and
Class in the Tea Party reveals the complexities and contradictions
inherent in this movement, where organizers attempt to reconcile
their personal experiences with their conservative politics. In the
end, these dynamics reveal as much about us as it does about the
Tea Party. It is certain to challenge all of our politics, and
especially our scholarly thinking, about the movement, and offers a
path toward real conversations about our collective future in the
United States.
