“Larry Bartels and Katherine Cramer are a dream team at the top of their game in both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Capitalizing on one of the most remarkable long-term survey research projects ever mounted, they have produced a rich and uniquely valuable perspective on more than six decades of social and political change. Seen through the eyes of America’s high school seniors of 1965, the sophisticated, twisting tale that Bartels and Cramer tell leads tragically to today’s angry, unequal, dispirited, and polarized America.” -- Robert D. Putnam | author of ""Bowling Alone"" and ""The Upswing"" “How do the circumstances into which people are born and raised, and the political events underway as they come of age, shape their political attitudes decades later? Larry Bartels and Katherine Cramer examine this by studying Americans in the high school Class of 1965. They analyze surveys conducted across these individuals’ lifespans along with fresh and in-depth interviews Bartels and Cramer themselves conducted recently, in respondents’ own homes all over the United States. The result is a fascinating exploration that sheds light, not least, on why many children of 1960s became, a half-century later, supporters of President Donald Trump. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how our place in history shapes our views, and how we, in turn, shape politics.” -- Suzanne Mettler | Cornell University
