Description:
Viewing the modern right as more than a passing fad for state-anxious individuals, Ansell and the contributors in this volume -- a blend of well-known essayists and newer voices -- treat the current conservative movement as an important effort to contextualize and rearticulate the truths taken for granted in the American liberal tradition.
Expand description
Written as a response to the apparent rightward turn in the United States, Ansell and the progressive scholars and activists gathered here argue against the view that the conservative-driven "culture wars" are nothing more than a symbolic battle of ideas. In a departure from previous approaches to understanding the New Right, the authors warn against pigeonholing the political right in terms of single-issue politics, such as the pro-life movement. Instead, the authors propose that the New Right, although inconsistent on policy, is ideologically coherent in totality -- and a force to be reckoned with.
