While rightwing Republicans mobilized to crush those movements, \u003ci\u003eMaking Republicans Liberal\u003c\/i\u003e explores how another wing of the party responded to intensifying mass movement pressure. Beginning in the 1930s, Republican governors such as Earl Warren of California, George Romney of Michigan, and Nelson Rockefeller of New York spent the next four decades articulating their own vision of liberalism. These Republican liberals believed that strategically they could not win elections and govern in places where unions, civil rights groups, and other social movements organized voters.\u003cbr\u003eWhat ma\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MT - University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409666122071,"sku":"9781512826234","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781512826234.jpg?v=1730507609","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/making-republicans-liberal-9781512826234","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
