The Liberal Consensus Reconsidered by Robert Mason

The Liberal Consensus Reconsidered by Robert Mason

Confronting Godfrey Hodgson's long-standing theory that a ""liberal consensus"" shaped the United States after World War II, this volume finds that although elite politicians from both parties did share certain principles that gave direction to postwar America, the nation still experienced major political, cultural, and ideological conflict during this time.

An exceptionally fine collection that distills the very latest writing on mid-twentieth-century US. politics and society.”—Gareth Davies, author of From Opportunity to Entitlement: The Transformation and Decline of Great Society Liberalism
 
“Offers a diverse mix of interpretations that demonstrate how this era was often marked by intense political and cultural conflict. Rightly cautions against drawing too sharp a contrast between this period and the polarization of our time.”—Timothy N. Thurber, author of Republicans and Race: The GOP’s Frayed Relationship with African Americans, 1945–1974
