      abstract = {The Tea Party movement has energized a lot of voters, but  it has polarized the electorate, too. Agree or disagree, we  must understand this movement to understand American  politics in 2010 and beyond. This is journalist Kate  Zernike's eye-opening look inside, introducing us to a cast  of unlikely activists and the philosophy that animates  them. She shows how the movement emerged from an unusual  alliance of young Internet-savvy conservatives and older  people alarmed at a country they no longer recognize. The  movement is the latest manifestation of a long history of  conservative discontent in America, breeding on a distrust  of government that is older than the nation itself. But the  Tea Partiers' grievances are rooted in the present, a  response to the election of the nation's first black  president and to the far-reaching government intervention  that followed the economic crisis of 2008-2009. Though they  are better educated and better off than most other  Americans, they remain deeply pessimistic about the economy  and the direction of the country.--From publisher  description.},
