The Boston Globe featured an interview with Thomas Ogorzalek about his book, The cities on the hill: How urban institutions transformed national politics, about to be released by Oxford University Press in early May 2018.
"THE DIVIDE BETWEEN rural America and urban America has become a key theme in our national life — two landscapes, two presidential candidates, two sets of antithetical beliefs. But a new book suggests that this split isn’t the result of national politics. Instead, the opposite is true. In The cities on the hill: How urban institutions transformed national politics, Thomas Ogorzalek shows that the divide originated with the cities themselves."
Tom Ogorzalek is a 2017-2018 Visiting Scholar at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP) at Princeton University and assistant professor of political science at Northwestern University.
