In America's Right Turn historian William Berman examines the political, cultural, and economic contexts in which Republican conservatives operated and explores the crisis of the liberal welfare state against the background of presidential politics. Berman demonstrates the key roles played by conservative populism and the conservative backlash to the rights revolution in the collapse of Democratic hegemony. But most importantly, he shows how conservative politics became allied with conservative economics―an alliance forged with singular success during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In this new edition, Berman discusses the initial failure of the Clinton administration to establish a viable political alternative to the GOP. Berman also shows how Clinton won reelection in l996 by moving steadily to the center, even to the extent of co-opting the Republican agenda, while defending a number of key Democratic programs.

Review:
America's fundamental shift in political persuasion--the gradual erosion of the coalition formed during the New Deal and simultaneous rise in popular conservatism ultimately embodied in Ronald Reagan, is lucidly--and, one must note, concisely--described by William C. Berman, professor emeritus of history at the University of Toronto. He begins with the presidential election of 1964, in which racial politics and economic pressures on the middle class began to emerge as central issues in American politics, and provides the factual history with commendable objectivity and a minimum of academic abstruseness. Progressing in a straightforward chronological manner, Berman hits the major political stories of the last three decades of the 20th century; although the book contains little that is startling or revelatory, Berman's portrayal of characters and events, both major and minor, add up to a substantive one-volume history. --Robert McNamara
