In The God Strategy, David Domke and Kevin Coe offer a timely and
dynamic study of the rise of religion in American politics,
examining the public messages of political leaders over the past
seventy-five years--from the 1932 election of Franklin Roosevelt to
the early stages of the 2008 presidential race. They conclude that
U.S. politics today is defined by a calculated, deliberate, and
partisan use of faith that is unprecedented in modern politics.
Sectarian influences and expressions of faith have always been
part of American politics, the authors observe, but a profound
change occurred beginning with the election of Ronald Reagan in
1980. What has developed since is a no-holds-barred religious
politics that seeks to attract voters, identify and attack enemies,
and solidify power. Domke and Coe identify a set of religious
signals sent by both Republicans and Democrats in speeches, party
platforms, proclamations, visits to audiences of faith, and even
celebrations of Christmas. Sometimes these signals are intended for
the eyes and ears of all Americans, and other times they are
distinctly targeted to specific segments of the population. It's an
approach that has been remarkably successful, utilized first and
most extensively by the Republican Party to capture unprecedented
power and then adopted by the Democratic Party, most notably by
Bill Clinton in the 1990s and by a wide range of Democrats in the
2006 elections.
"For U.S. politicians today, having faith isn't enough; it must be
displayed, carefully and publicly. This is a stark transformation
in recent decades," write Domke and Coe. With innovative,
accessible research and analytical verve, they document how this
hasoccurred, who has done it and why, and what it means for the
American experiment in democracy.
From the bestselling, award-winning author of Middle England comes
a profoundly moving, brutally funny and brilliantly true portrait
of Britain told through four generations of one family In
Bournville, a placid suburb of Birmingham, sits a famous chocolate
factory. For eleven-year-old Mary and her family in 1945, it's the
centre of the world. The reason their streets smell faintly of
chocolate, the place where most of their friends and neighbours
have worked for decades. Mary will go on to live through the
Coronation and the World Cup final, royal weddings and royal
funerals, Brexit and Covid-19. She'll have children and
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Parts of the chocolate
factory will be transformed into a theme park, as modern life and
the city crowd in on their peaceful enclave. As we travel through
seventy-five years of social change, from James Bond to Princess
Diana, and from wartime nostalgia to the World Wide Web, one
pressing question starts to emerge: will these changing times bring
Mary's family - and their country - closer together, or leave them
more adrift and divided than ever before? Bournville is a rich and
poignant new novel from the bestselling, Costa award-winning author
of Middle England. It is the story of a woman, of a nation's love
affair with chocolate, of Britain itself. 'A wickedly funny,
clever, but also tender and lyrical novel about Britain and
Britishness and what we have become' Rachel Joyce 'It is miraculous
how, in his new novel, Coe has created a social history of postwar
Britain as we are still living it. Bournville is a beautiful, and
often very funny, tribute to an underexamined place and also a
truly moving story of how a country discovered tolerance' Sathnam
Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland
