Double-weighted statement
California Crucible is a substantial work of original archival scholarship that completely recasts our understanding of postwar American politics by using California as a case study of how liberal organising radically transformed the political landscape between WWII and the 1970s. There is a substantial literature on the rise of the right in California and the US more generally but little on the parallel development of rights liberalism. In the words of one published review, ‘this is an important, original work that should cause scholars of modern liberal and conservative politics to see the postwar era in a significantly different light.'
