  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966
    Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966 Ronald Reagan. International News Photos. National Press Club Archives In the week following his first triumph in a campaign for public office—a stunning two-to-one victory in the Republican primary for governor of California— Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) traveled east to confer with the national party chairman, California’s Republican representatives in Congress, and leading industrialists. Not only had Reagan become the favorite in his bid to unseat two- term Democratic Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown, politicians and pundits now considered him a major national figure and future contender for the presidency. Feared as an extremist by some, Reagan visited former President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his farm in Gettysburg and gained his support. One day later, Reagan appeared before a capacity crowd at the National Press Club in Washington, where he delivered, in the opinion of a Los Angeles Times reporter, a “witty, deft, engaging performance in his debut in one of the capital’s chief forums.” This period of Reagan’s political ascendancy coincided with the beginning stages of a seismic shift in American politics: the decline of modern liberalism and entrance of the conservative right into the political mainstream. Two years earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson had trounced conservative Senator Barry Goldwater after a raucous Republican convention split the party into warring factions. Democrats secured resounding majorities in both the House and 1 Senate. With a clear mandate, Johnson began his new term with the announcement, “We’re on our way to the Great Society,” invoking the near- utopian vision for the U.S.

  • Tom Bradley Partner Toolkit Final
    COMMUNITY PARTNER TOOLKIT PROMOTION & SOCIAL MEDIA Dear Partner Organization, THANK YOU! Your support of Bridging the Divide: Tom Bradley and the Politics of Race will make it possible for many more Americans to see this important and timely film on PBS, as part of public television’s national celebration of Black History Month. Bridging the Divide: Tom Bradley and the Politics of Race offers an engaging portrait of America’s first big-city black mayor who broke through racial, political and social barriers in Los Angeles 35 years before President Obama made similar achievements on the national level. Why support Bridging the Divide: Tom Bradley and the Politics of Race on PBS? • As we draw near to the end of the historic Barack Obama presidency, many challenges and divisions in our country remain. What will be the legacy of America’s first African American president? There are lessons from the past: before Barack Obama became president, Tom Bradley was elected mayor of Los Angeles, America’s first black mayor of a major city elected by an overwhelmingly white population. • As the Black Lives Matter movement continues to resonate in many American communities and spark needed discussion about racial injustice and police brutality, there are lessons from recent history that can enhance our understanding of these critical social dynamics. Mayor Tom Bradley confronted police abuse and misconduct in minority communities in LA 40 years ago, and eventually brought about reform within the LAPD, building on his tenure as a police officer. • As we delve deeper into the first post-Obama election cycle, the experience of Tom Bradley in Los Angeles shows that the tactics of division and fear have deep roots in electoral politics: Mayor Sam Yorty (Bradley’s predecessor and opponent) used race and fear as weapons against Bradley in the 1969 mayoral election, but Bradley prevailed and made history in 1973 when he was elected of Los Angeles.

A biography noted: "He goes stroight for o jugulor vein, He says outrogeous things about his opponents ond their ollies, generally depicting them as losers, radicals, bunglers, Uouble makers, or even outright clangers to the country,"l No, we are not referring to the 20L6 presidential election, nor to Donald Trlmp, Instead, thr: reference is to the year 1"961and to the Los Angeles City mayoral election of that year, The candidate was Sam Yorty, a registered Democrat at the time who frad nonetheless had supported Republican Richard Nixrln in the 1960 presidential election against Democrat John F.
