The politics of losing : Trump, the Klan, and the mainstreaming of resentment / Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep. by McVeigh, Rory, author. New York : Columbia University Press, [2019] Subjects Trump, Donald, 1946-   Ku Klux Klan (1915- ) -- History.   White nationalism -- United States -- History.   White supremacy movements -- United States -- History.   White people -- Race identity -- United States -- History.   United States -- Politics and government -- 2017-2021 ISBN:  9780231190060 0231190069 Description:  310 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  The Ku Klux Klan has peaked three times in American history: after the Civil War, around the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, and in the 1920s, when the Klan spread farthest and fastest. Recruiting millions of members even in non-Southern states, the Klan's nationalist insurgency burst into mainstream politics. Almost one hundred years later, once again the pent-up anger of white Americans left behind by a changing economy has directed itself at immigrants and cultural outsiders and roiled a presidential election. In The Politics of Losing, Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep trace the parallels between the 1920s Klan and today's right-wing backlash, identifying the conditions that allow white nationalism to emerge from the shadows. White middle-class Protestant Americans in the 1920s found themselves stranded by an economy that was increasingly industrialized and fueled by immigrant labor. Mirroring the Klan's earlier tactics, Donald Trump delivered a message that mingled economic populism with deep cultural resentments. McVeigh and Estep present a sociological analysis of the Klan's outbreaks that goes beyond Trump the individual to show how his rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances. The experience of declining privilege and perceptions of lost power can trigger a political backlash that overtly asserts white-nationalist goals. The Politics of Losing offers a rigorous and readable explanation for a recurrent phenomenon in American history, with important lessons about the origins of our alarming political climate.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.56909 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
