Notes

1. Cowie and Salvatore's “Long Exception” is also the subject of their forthcoming and long-awaited new history of the place of New Deal liberalism in American history (2008).

2. Coauthor of this review Lombardo's forthcoming case study of blue-collar politics in postwar Philadelphia examines how interwoven structural forces and public policy combined in the 1960s and 1970s to alter working-class political development. See Lombardo, “Making Blue-Collar Conservatism: Race, Class, and Politics in Frank Rizzo's Philadelphia” (2013).

3. Historian Moreton offers one example of how working women engaged the politics of conservatism in the late twentieth century. See Moreton (2010).
