The Reagan Era: A History of the 1980s | New from Columbia University Press

Columbia University Press Read an interview with Doug Rossinow Reaganism and the Rise of the Carceral State   The Reagan Era A History of the 1980s    Doug Rossinow                Doug Rossinow takes the full measure of Ronald Reagan's presidency and the ideology of Reaganism. Believers in libertarian economics and a muscular foreign policy, Reaganite conservatives in the 1980s achieved impressive success in their efforts to transform American government, politics, and society, ushering in the political and social system Americans inhabit today.   Rossinow links current trends in economic inequality to the policies and social developments of the Reagan era. He reckons with the racial politics of Reaganism and its debt to the backlash generated by the civil rights movement, as well as Reaganism's entanglement with the politics of crime and the rise of mass incarceration. Rossinow narrates the conflicts that rocked U.S. foreign policy toward Central America, and he explains the role of the recession during the early 1980s in the decline of manufacturing and the growth of a service economy.     Order Now and Save 30%!   $35.00 $24.50 Use discount code ROSREA at check-out Cloth | 392 pages | £24.00* * Customer in the UK and Europe should contact customer@wiley.com  FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
