"""There is little if any support in voting data for the notion that 'economic anxiety' drove people to vote for Trump. As documented in Identity Crisis, an important new book analyzing the 2016 election, what distinguished Trump voters wasn't financial hardship but 'attitudes related to race and ethnicity.'""—Paul Krugman, New York Times ""Timely, careful and data-rich.""—E. J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post ""The definitive account of the 2016 election.""—Alex Shephard, New Republic ""Lucid, engaging, and ruthlessly rational, Identity Crisis is the guide we needed to what really happened in 2016, an election we still haven’t come to terms with. After all the speculation and partisan blame, the authors' search for the real answers isn't just interesting—it's necessary. Identity Crisis is about more than an election: it's about the state of America at a moment of political breakdown.""—Molly Ball, national political correspondent, Time"
