Emerging in 2009, the Tea Party movement had an immediate and
profound impact on American politics and society. This book draws
on a decade's worth of original, extensive data collection to
understand why the Tea Party emerged, where it was active, and why
it disappeared so quickly. Patrick Rafail and John McCarthy link
the Tea Party's rise to prominence following the economic collapse
that came to be known as the Great Recession. Paying special
attention to the importance of space and time in shaping the Tea
Party's activities, Rafail and McCarthy identify and explain the
movement's disappearance from the political stage. Even though
grassroots Tea Party activism largely ceased by 2014, they
demonstrate the movement's effect on the Republican Party and
American democracy that continues today.
