H-Net
Rozell and Wilcox have again assembled a diverse and talented cast who produce a volume that makes a contribution to our understanding of the connections between social movements and electoral politics. It is a necessary addition for those interested in the Christian Right. The chapters are well written and examine and explain data in a way comprehensible by undergraduates. The work captures points that would enrich a variety of courses.
