Featuring contributions from a wide range of leading experts, 'At the Tea Party' looks at who is behind the movement, its rich sources of funding and extensive use of new technology, its appeal to women, the pervasive racism that underpins much of its approach and the lessons for the left of a political programme that, though often incoherent, nonetheless taps into genuine anxieties.
