A month after the famous Republican electoral sweep in 1994 my husband and I traveled to London for a week of theater-going with our playwright friend Irene Wurtzel and her husband, Alan. To my surprise, London newspapers were bursting with stories about public anger leveled at the ruling Conservative Party. Voters in Great Britain had grown so angry, declared the articles, that if an election were held that very week Prime Minister John Major would have been ousted from office and replaced by the Labour Party. What a switch, given the conventional wisdom about the U.S. election symbolizing the rejection of liberalism.
With the benefit of this transoceanic perspective, I started thinking seriously about political anger as a phenomenon of the 1990s. In fact, by the time Americans were agonizing over the impact of the angry white male, political anger had achieved a new universality. No matter what culture or nation was involved, they all shared one target in common: government. No wonder the Tories looked nervously across the Atlantic at Canada, where their counterparts in the Conservative Party had been recently swept out of office by a flash of voter anger. In Morocco, 100,000 university graduates faced the future without jobs, no longer blaming Allah for their poverty and misfortune, as one political leader told me. Instead, they now blame government.
This book has many mentors, intellectual and personal, and I am deeply indebted to them all. When I returned from London, Pranay Gupte, my editor at the Earth Times (where I write a column from Washington), asked me to pursue the anger theme in relation to President Clintons first year in office. Pranay is a wellspring of ideas, and I am grateful for all his advice, for forcing me to write fast, and for dispatching me all over the world. I would also like to thank Arthur Gelb of the New York Times for coming up with the idea for the column and for putting Pranay in touch with me.
After writing the Clinton piece, I knew there was a book out there somewhere; indeed, this was a book I felt in my bones from the beginning. With me from the creation were a great many people who also shared my belief in the book and who helped and encouraged me to further develop the ideas and publishing possibilities. Among them were Nick Veliotes, Roz and Dick Kleeman, Barbara Bergmann, Sandee Brawarsky, Richard E. Cohen, Judith Rosener, and Cathy Rudder.
My relationship with Westview Press began one balmy evening when I was waiting for a taxi at the American Political Science Association convention in Chicago. As I described the book project to my friend, Beryl Radin, sotto voce, I thought, Sandy Maisel overheard our conversation. Do you have a publisher yet? he asked. Sandy and I had worked on several projects together over the years, and before I knew it, he and the editors had signed me on as an author for his series Dilemmas in American Politics. My experience with Westview has been all an author could ask. Specifically, I would like to thank Sandy as well as Matt Kerbel for their intellectual input and for editing chapters almost as quickly as I finished them. I would also like to thank Jennifer Knerr, the original editor of the book, for her incisive, meticulous editing and for sticking with the project even after she had left the company. I owe Leo Wiegman, the editor of Westview Press, a deep debt of gratitude for taking over the book and skillfully guiding it through its first and second editions. I would especially like to thank Linda Simpson for helping with the editing of the second edition. Thanks also to the talented and dedicated members of the Westview family, including Brenda Hadenfeldt, who guided the book to publication; Shena L. Redmond, project editor; Diane Hess, copy editor; Michelle Schayes, assistant college marketing manager; and Lisa Paradise and Ellen Williams, directors of publicity.
