I. B. Tauris & Company The Hillary Effect: Perspectives on Clintons Legacy

Review Cargile, Davis, Merolla and VanSickle-Ward assembled an exciting volume of diverse perspectives to commemorate the enduring effects of Hillary Clinton's career. This volume combines inspiring stories with systematic analyses to reclaim the narrative around Clinton. It elucidates and celebrates the countless ways in which she changed the face of politics, inciting "resilience, recognition, and resistance" among women and girls everywhere. Tiffany Barnes, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Kentucky, USA I enthusiastically recommend The Hilary Effect to students of, and participants in, American politics. Taken together, the 42 chapters provide insight into the consequences of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, extensive career in government, domestic and foreign policy-making, and political activism, demonstrating that her contributions are more significant and far-reaching than previously reported. The authors provide much-needed context along with both research-based and personal insight into previously understudied or overlooked positive aspects of Clinton's leadership, revealing the enduring legacy of Clinton's career and its effects on the mass public, political activists, women's candidacies, children and parents, and generations of women and men alike. Kathryn Pearson, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota, USA Product Description This volume of over thirty essays is organised around five primary dimensions of Hillary Clintons influence: policy, activism, campaigns, womens ambition and impact on parents and their children. Combining personal narrative with scholarly expertise in political science, this volume looks at American politics through the career of Hillary Clinton in order to illuminate overarching trends related to elections, gender and public policy. Featuring an extraordinarily varied list of contributors working within the field of political science, and a fresh interdisciplinary approach, this book will appeal to broad range of politically engaged audiences, practitioners and scholars. About the Author Ivy A.M. Cargile (B.A. California State University, Fullerton; M.A. and PhD Claremont Graduate University) is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at California State University, Bakersfield. Broadly, her research interests focus on political behavior in the U.S. context. She is particularly interested in how the intersections of gender, race, and ethnicity affect the electoral behavior of both political elites, and the electorate at large. Specifically, she is interested in how diverse political participants perceive a Latina candidate who represents the intersection of gender, and ethnicity. Likewise, she explores how both Latina political actors, and other female politicians of color influence policy outcomes, and represent their constituents. She also focuses some of her research on the public opinion of Latina/o/x voters as a way to develop a better understanding about how policy issues such as immigration, and women's rights affect the participation of this community. Her work has appeared in Political Research Quarterly, as well as in multiple books on the topics of Latina politicians, Latina/o/x voters, and immigration policy.
