Editorial Reviews

Review

"Essential reading for activists, poli-sci types, journalists and trend-watchers." Kirkus Reviews

"A timely, highly readable discussion of American neighborhoods and the implications of who lives in them." Library Journal

"A book posing hard questions across the political spectrum." Booklist, ALA, Boxed Review

"Bishop's argument is meticulously researched—surveys and polls proliferate—and his reach is broad." Publishers Weekly

"a gripping new book" - The Economist

"Jam-packed with fascinating data, "The Big Sort" presents a provocative portrait of the splintering of America." Boston Globe

"[a] rich and challenging book about the ways in which the citizens of this country have, in the past generation, rearranged themselves into discrete enclaves that have little to say to one another and little incentive to bother trying." The Wall Street Journal

About the Author

BILL BISHOP was a reporter for the Austin American-Statesman when he began research on city growth and political polarization with the sociologist and statistician Robert Cushing. Bishop has worked as a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader, and, with his wife, owned and operated the Bastrop County Times, a weekly newspaper in Smithville, Texas. He lives in Austin.
