Synopsis

This powerful examination of the present and future of American politics, by one of America's most distinguished political journalists, reveals how the Republican Party has gained a long-term institutional advantage that allows it to shrug off apparent setbacks like the 2006 elections. Building Red America takes us deeper than any previous book into the operations of the power brokers and issues that galvanize voters.

Media Reviews
Easily the best book on the politics of race in recent years...ambitious and unsettling.
The best book on how race colors national politics in the U.S., written by one of the Washington Post's top political reporters.
Brilliantly illuminates the Democratic Party's mistakes and its problems.... Should be read by anyone with an interest in American politics.
Edsall has been reporting the nuts and guts of American politics for decades now, and there is no more reliable guide to infrastructural facts. -- Todd Gitlin
