Introduction: I want my country back! -- Behind the costumes and signs: who are the Tea Partiers? -- What they believe: the ideas and passions of Tea Partiers -- Mobilized grassroots and roving billionaires: the panoply of Tea Party organizations -- Getting the word out: the media as cheerleader and megaphone -- How the Tea Party boosts the GOP and prods it rightward -- The Tea Party and American democracy.
In this penetrating new study, Skocpol of Harvard University, one of today's leading political scientists, and co-author Williamson go beyond the inevitable photos of protesters in tricorn hats and knee breeches to provide a nuanced portrait of the Tea Party. What they find is sometimes surprising.
