{"product_id":"dog-whistle-politics-ian-haney-l-pez-9780190841805","title":"Dog Whistle Politics: Strategic Racism, Fake Populism, and the Dividing of America","description":"Initially published in 2013, Ian Haney-Lez's Dog Whistle Politics offered a sweeping account of how politicians and plutocrats deploy veiled racial appeals to persuade white voters to support policies that favor the extremely rich yet threaten their own interests. As he showed, such appeals generate middle-class enthusiasm for political candidates who promise to crack down on crime, curb undocumented immigration, and protect against Islamic infiltration, but ultimately vote in favor of corporations and the rich. Rejecting any simple story of malevolent and obvious racism, Haney-Lez linked the two central themes that dominate American politics today: the decline of the middle class and the Republican Party's increasing reliance on white voters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book proved to be remarkably prescient. Donald Trump's 2016 campaign was built almost entirely around dog whistle politics, and he won the presidency because of it. This new edition of Dog Whistle Politics updates the book by a substantial new chapter on Trump that examines his appeal and places his campaign in the historical context that the first edition of \u003cem\u003eDog Whistle Politics\u003c\/em\u003e so perceptively uncovered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Haney Lez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019084180X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190841805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ian Haney Lez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995497955583,"sku":"9780190841805","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f188e4d-f6c9-4cf1-aea8-12e760511ad8.jpg?v=1683336156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dog-whistle-politics-ian-haney-l-pez-9780190841805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
