About this ebook
Written by Scribd Editors
With Uncivil Agreement, Lilliana Mason looks at the growing social gulf across racial, religious, and cultural lines which have come to divide the two major political parties. She argues that group identifications have changed the way we think and feel about ourselves and our opponents.
Even when Democrats and Republicans can agree on policy outcomes, they tend to view one other with distrust and to work for party victory above all else. Although the polarizing effects of social divisions have increased political engagement, they have not been a force that is helpful for American democracy.
Mason is associate professor of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park. She received her PhD in Political Psychology from Stony Brook University and her BA in Politics from Princeton University. Her research on partisan identity and bias, social sorting and social polarization has been published in journals such as American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Public Opinion Quarterly, and Political Behavior.
Bringing together theory from political science and psychology, Uncivil Agreement describes this social polarization and adds to our understanding of contemporary politics.
