Writing on the Southern Front (eBook, PDF)

Authentic Conservatism for Our Times

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

For traditionalists, the conservative ascendency of the 1980s turned out to be a major disappointment. With the triumph of multiculturalism and political correctness, liberalism seemed to move from strength to strength. Still, Southern conservative writers plunged forward, and their themes of populism, immigration, and cultural integrity are seeing a contemporary resurgence. Discussing a wide array of authors who worked in a many genres, including literature, Joseph Scotchie celebrates those unreconstructed champions who fought the culture wars of their times with a special learning and vigor.
