| Description: |
Examining the interconnectedness of the Christian Right and the radical right, this study looks at such issues as abortion, gay rights, and gun control. It argues that the American right is divided over how to advance an anti-liberal agenda. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a broad-based study of all aspects of right-wing politics in the US, with a particular focus on two overlapping groups--the Christian Right and the Radical Right. The American Right has attracted a remarkable amount of attention in recent years. The Christian Right has become a major part of the Republican Party, conservative Pat Buchanan has launched three bids for the party's presidential nomination, and the militias have drawn thousands of Americans into a movement which believes the country is threatened by an international conspiracy. This study challenges the ways in which these developments have been seen and argues for a fresh look at the movements to the right of the mainstream conservatism. |
