McGirr (2015) is a social history of mid 20th century conservatism in Orange County, California. Williamson, Skopal, and Coggin (2011) is a sociological study of the emergence of the tea Party with participant observer research in Massachusetts.
Stewart (2017) led me to research James W. Fitfield, Jr., a Congregationalist minister who "set about convincing America’s Protestant clergy that America was a Christian nation in which government must be kept from interfering with the expression of God’s will in market economics." Toy (1970) is a history of Fitfield's spiritual mobilization movement. Harvey (1971) discusses the tensions between Fitfield's congregation and the its parent denomination. Nickerson (2009) is about the role of conservative in southern California politics. This article should be moved to the history section. The other articles in this subsection are from publications Rice does not subscribe to.
