→Summary
Himmelstein (1992) and Schoenwald (2001) are both political histories of mid to late 20th-century American conservatism. Farmer (2005) takes this back to the Puritans. Farber (2010) prematurely(?) sees American conservatism as in decline. Lowndes (2008) argues that modern American conservatism grow out of an alliance between northern conservatives and southern segregationists.
Nash (2017) is a manifesto Heritage Foundation report about the future of American conservatism. I may move this piece to be with Brooks on the free enterprise page. The author argues that conservatives need to communicate in language that connects with ordinary Americans.
McGirr (2015) and Nickerson (2009) are a social histories of mid 20th-century conservatism in southern California. Williamson, Skopal, and Coggin (2011) is a sociological study of the emergence of the tea Party with participant observer research in Massachusetts.
