Among the early praise for From the New Deal to the New Right:

"This book brilliantly describes the ideology of American conservatism. A richly detailed analysis that helps illuminate the development, rise, and the discursive peculiarities of this political movement."
—Anne Norton, author of Leo Strauss and the Politics of American Empire

"This is an original, well-written, and important analysis of how the implosion of Southern segregation resulted in new party alignments, racial cleavage, and ideological divisions in American politics. Drawing on new primary sources and developing important theoretical arguments, Lowndes has made a major contribution to American political development."
—Desmond King, University of Oxford and author of The Liberty of Strangers: Making the American Nation
