Critical History of American Liberalism and The Democratic Party

Good afternoon,

Without getting too much into detail I am working on an academic paper that discusses the history of the Democratic party with a primary focus from the 1930s-1970s. The paper focuses on the brief creation of the New Deal coalition and the demise of this brief moment of social democracy.

It is also will delve into the points of conflict within this coalition such as the presence of the Dixie crats and pro segregation Democrats against civil rights advocates, the push and pull labor had with the new deal coalition during the great depression, and the hawks vs doves debates.

With all this being said, I am making this post to see if there are any critical histories of the Democratic party within this era or critical histories of liberalism as a whole. (preferably from a left perspective but I am open to right wing critiques as well)
