Excellent- More about Authoritarianism and Class in American Political Fiction: Elite Pluralism and Political Bosses in Three Post-War Novels
This book analyzes how the competition for power among elite factions in American governance often results in the exclusion of major groups of constituents, providing political bosses with a rationale to seize authoritarian control.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 206 pages
Publication date: 29 January 2024
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
This book analyzes what many critics consider to be the three best examples of modern American political fiction—Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men, Edwin O’Connor’s The Last Hurrah, and Billy Lee Brammer’s The Gay Place—to address a specific problem in American governance: how the intense competition for power among elite factions often results in their ignoring major groups of their constituents, thereby providing political bosses with a rationale to seize authoritarian control of the government in the name of constituent groups who feel ignored or neglected, promising them more democratic rule, but in the process, excluding other groups, so that the bosses themselves become elitist, ruling only for the sake of some constituents and not others.
