The season saw five nohi�ers, a rare Na�onal League playoff between the Giants and the Dodgers, and a thrilling seven-game World Series. Weaving the 1962 baseball season within the social fabric of this era, David Krell delivers a fascina�ng book as epochal as its subject.

Beginning in 1870 with the birth of Texas’s modern poli�cal framework, Minutaglio chronicles Texas poli�cal life against the backdrop of industry, the economy, and race rela�ons, recas�ng the narra�ve of influen�al Texans.
To secure the general welfare in a new century, the future of American unity lies not in monolithic na�onalism. Rather, Samuel Goldman suggests we move in the opposite direc�on: go small, embrace difference as the driving characteris�c of American society, and support poli�cal projects grounded in local communi�es.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
Considers the US-Mexico border as one of the most visualized and imagined spaces in the US. As a place of con�nual crisis, permanent visibility, and territorial defense, the border is rendered as a layered visual space of policing—one that is seen from watchtowers, camera-mounted vehicles, helicopters, surveillance balloons, radar systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and live streaming websites.
The postwar United States has experienced many forms of populist poli�cs, none more consequen�al than that of the blue-collar white ethnics who brought figures like Donald Trump to the White House. This book traces the rise of this li�leunderstood variant of populism by presen�ng a nuanced portrait of the supporters of Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo.

Much a�en�on has been paid to poli�cal polariza�on in America, but far less to the growing schism between progressive and conserva�ve Chris�ans. The authors offer the provoca�ve conten�on that progressive and conserva�ve Chris�ani�es have diverged so much in their core values that they ought to be thought of as two separate religions.
