The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics

Description

The definitive firsthand account of the movement that permanently broke the
American political consensus. What do internet trolls, economic populists,
white nationalists, techno-anarchists and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing,
except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-
called “Cathedral” from whence it pours forth. Contrary to the dissembling
explanations from the corporate press, this movement did not emerge
overnight―nor are its varied subgroups in any sense interchangeable with one
another. As united by their opposition as they are divided by their goals, the
members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those in the mainstream
who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was
there from the very inception, and in The New Right recounts their tale from
the beginning. Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the
New Right as a movement of ideas―ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse
ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the
Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he
witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand
accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely
misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon. Today’s fringe is tomorrow’s
orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required
reading for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more
about the past, present and future of our divided political culture. Read more
