On the Side of the Angels: An Appreciation of Parties and Partisanship
"Incisive and deftly written. . . . The most provocative part ofOn the Side of the Angelsis not the discussion of parties as institutions; most people will readily grant that democracies require parties. What is more striking is Rosenblum's case for partisanship."--Paul Starr,New Republic"Rosenblum's analysis . . . adds much greater rigor, clarity, and depth to [existing scholarship]. . . . Even more, she creates a defense of partisan identification that is, at least to this reviewer, totally original."--John Aldrich,Perspectives on Politics
