New Directions in American Political Parties [EPUB ebook] 

Our portraits of voters have changed significantly within the last 10 to 15 years.

This volume, with contributions from some of the most noted scholars of political parties, brings together assessments of these changes to provide a comprehensive overview of current trends in the field.
