Kevin Munger, "Generation Gap: Why the Baby Boomers Still Dominate American Politics and Culture" (Columbia UP, 2022)

In Generation Gap: Why the Baby Boomers Still Dominate American Politics and Culture (Columbia UP, 2022), Kevin Munger marshals novel data and survey evidence to argue that generational conflict will define the politics of the next decade.

Kevin Munger is an assistant professor of political science and social data analytics at Penn State University. Caleb Zakarin is the Assistant Editor of the New Books Network.
