VOICE OF THE PEOPLE: The Transpartisan Imperative in American Life
A. Lawrence Chickering and James S. Turner
What would political debate be like if it focused on issues that brought people together rather than, as
now, separated them? The current debate is so torn by conflict that it is easy to believe nothing will
bring the principal actors in American politics together. This pathbreaking book tells how a new
"transpartisan" politics works and why it is not only possible, but necessary to solve major global
problems from public school reform to race, from health care policy to energy and the environment to
the large and growing challenges of international security. In rethinking many economic, political and
even cultural issues, the authers argue that the current debate conceals huge areas of agreement
between people normally thought to be political adversaries. They outline a new political agenda for the
130 million registered independent and non-registered potential voters and also for many other voters
who actively participate in current politics but are deeply unhappy with it. It is an agenda that
encourages people to think about issues in new ways and that will bring people together at this fragile
moment in our history.
