To some, it is a grassroots movement\u003cbr\u003eaiming to reclaim an out-of-touch government for the people.\u003cbr\u003eTo others, it is a proto-fascist organization of the misinformed and\u003cbr\u003emanipulated lower middle class. Either way, it is surely one of the\u003cbr\u003emost significant forms of reaction in the age of Obama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this definitive socio-political analysis of the Tea Party, Anthony\u003cbr\u003eDiMaggio examines the Tea Party phenomenon, using a vast array\u003cbr\u003eof primary and secondary sources as well as first-hand observation.\u003cbr\u003eHe traces the history of the Tea Party and analyzes its organizational\u003cbr\u003estructure, membership, ideological coherence, and relationship to\u003cbr\u003ethe mass media.
