Podcast appearances and mentions of chris galdieri

To wrap up the year and look ahead to 2020, we talked about the books we loved and the podcasts that we enjoyed recording. There were quite a few excellent books in 2019, and we only had a chance to mention a few of them. Heath talked about a couple books that really stuck with him this past year, especially Alexander Hertel-Fernandez’s book State Capture, Bryan Jones, Sean Theriault, and Michelle Whyman’s The Great Broadening, and Sally Nuamah’s book How Girls Achieve. Heath noted that Niambi Michele Carter’s book, American While Black, and the podcast interview with Carter made a lasting impression on him. (He also thanked her for her expansive and helpful restaurant recommendations for Washington, D.C., just as many political scientists were travelling to D.C. in the fall for the annual APSA conference.) Susan Liebell, who will be joining the New Books in Political Science podcast as a host, also highlighted some of the books and podcasts she most enjoyed, including the podcast interview with Peter Josephson and Ward Holder about their book Reinhold Niebuhr in Theory and Practice. Susan noted that she was also fascinated by Michael Romano and Todd Curry’s book and podcast interview about Creating the Law. And Lilly talked about how much she learned from Stay Woke by Tehama Lopez Bunyasi and Candis Watts Smith, and how much she enjoyed reading Chris Galdieri’s book about carpetbaggers, Strangers in a Strange State. We also chatted a little about Heath’s new podcast project, titled Co-Authored, and thus his need to switch focus and depart as a regular host at the NB in Political Science podcast. We also forecast some of the books we are most looking forward to reading and podcasting about in 2020.

Chris Galdieri has written an engaging analysis of carpetbagging in American politics. Stranger in a Strange State: The Politics of Carpetbagging from Robert Kennedy to Scott Brown (SUNY Press, 2019), and its focus on individual case studies, highlight understandings of electoral politics in the United States and how individual ambition, party strengths and weaknesses, and electoral dynamics all fit into our thinking about candidates and their campaigns. While the thrust of Stranger in a Strange State is on this topic of carpetbagging—with high profile examples like Robert Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, and somewhat less well known candidates like Alan Keyes and Bill Brock—our understanding of carpetbagging also brings forward considerations of representation, since the critique of the carpetbagger tends to be a disconnection from the citizens to be represented, especially for those running for the United States Senate. Galdieri forefronts this analysis of representation, framing the analysis of these individual cases within our thinking about how elected officials are supposed to represent their constituents. This is a fascinating book, compelling the reader to turn the page to learn more about political parties, politicians, campaigns, ambition, and how much of this might fit within our polarized political landscape. Lilly J. Goren is professor of Political Science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She co-edited the award-winning Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012). Learn more about your ad choices.
