Summary note

Polarized: The Rise of Ideology in American Politics takes an in-depth look at the ideological foundations of the contemporary American political machine of parties, politicians, the media, and the public. Beginning with a redefinition of contemporary liberalism and conservatism, Steven E. Shier and Todd E. Eberly develop a comprehensive examination of ideology in all branches of American national and state governments. Investigations into ideologies reveal a seeming paradox of a representative political system defined by ever growing divisions and a public that continues to self-describe itself as politically moderate.
