To some, it is a grassroots movement\u003cbr\u003eaiming to reclaim an out-of-touch government for the people.\u003cbr\u003eTo others, it is a proto-fascist organization of the misinformed and\u003cbr\u003emanipulated lower middle class. Either way, it is surely one of the\u003cbr\u003emost significant forms of reaction in the age of Obama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this definitive socio-political analysis of the Tea Party, Anthony\u003cbr\u003eDiMaggio examines the Tea Party phenomenon, using a vast array\u003cbr\u003eof primary and secondary sources as well as first-hand observation.\u003cbr\u003eHe traces the history of the Tea Party and analyzes its organizational\u003cbr\u003estructure, membership, ideological coherence, and relationship to\u003cbr\u003ethe mass media. And, perhaps most importantly, he asks: is it really\u003cbr\u003ea movement or just a form of \"manufactured dissent\" engineered\u003cbr\u003eby capital? DiMaggio's conclusions are thoroughly documented, \u003cbr\u003esurprising, and bring much needed clarity to a highly controversial\u003cbr\u003esubject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Dimaggio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583672478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583672471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.02w x 0.89d","brand":"Anthony Dimaggio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985205264639,"sku":"9781583672471","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98157cc7-95d3-4031-a549-2f317733b14c.jpg?v=1683276179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-of-the-tea-anthony-dimaggio-9781583672471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
