Creating the New Right Ethnic in 1970s America

The Intersection of Anger and Nostalgia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the role of the New Ethnicity in the politics and culture of 1970s United States, and in particular the rise of the New Right. This upsurge in white ethnic consciousness began as a way to express discontent with American society and improve the lives of the working poor, but its alienating rhetoric advanced a conservative agenda.
