Shaped by the State -Toward a New Political History of the Twentieth Century,Brent Cebul , Lily Geismer , Mason B. Williams

-About this book            

  American political history has been built around narratives of crisis, in which what “counts” are the moments when seemingly stable political orders collapse and new ones rise from the ashes.

 But while crisis-centered frameworks can make sense of certain dimensions of political culture, partisan change, and governance, they also often steal attention from the production of categories like race, gender, and citizenship status that transcend the usual break points in American history.
