About the Book

The first book in the "Great Questions in Politics" series, Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America,  combines polling data with a compelling narrative to debunk commonly-believed myths about American politics–particularly the claim that Americans are deeply divided in their fundamental political views. Authored by one of the most respected political scientists in America, this brief trade-like text looks at controversial and hot topic issues (such as polarization, abortion, etc.) and uses mapping/statistical tools to visually negate common misconceptions about their portrayal in American Politics. In our tradition of publishing excellence that began more than 200 years ago, Longman Publishers launches a new series that gathers the finest work from the best scholars in political science today. The Great Questions in Politics series offers new books that explore current political dilemmas and debates, frequently challenging conventional wisdom in today's political world. Written in an engaging, accessible style, each title rewards its readers with fresh perspectives in politics, governace, or policy.
