Political Disappointment 2023
Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis is a nonfiction book written by Sara Marcus. The work examines the Reconstruction era and the 20th century in America, using detailed analysis of multiple texts from that time to argue that advocates for social justice understood this period as a series of "political disappointments."
The book was released by Belknap Press in 2023. Reviews appeared in The Nation and The Yale Review, with both publications noting the work's strengths while suggesting that more evidence would better establish the influence of political disappointment on historical political movements.
