{"product_id":"right-wing-critics-of-american-conservatism-9780700625796","title":"Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism","description":"The American conservative movement as we know it faces an existential crisis as the nation's demographics shift away from its core constituents--older white middle-class Christians. It is the American conservatism that we \u003ci\u003edon't\u003c\/i\u003e know that concerns George Hawley in this book. During its ascendancy, leaders within the conservative establishment have energetically policed the movement's boundaries, effectively keeping alternative versions of conservatism out of view. Returning those neglected voices to the story, \u003ci\u003eRight-Wing Critics of American Conservatism\u003c\/i\u003e offers a more complete, complex, and nuanced account of the American right in all its dissonance in history and in our day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe right-wing intellectual movements considered here differ both from mainstream conservatism and from each other when it comes to fundamental premises, such as the value of equality, the proper role of the state, the importance of free markets, the place of religion in politics, and attitudes toward race. In clear and dispassionate terms, Hawley examines localists who exhibit equal skepticism toward big business and big government, paleoconservatives who look to the distant past for guidance and wish to turn back the clock, radical libertarians who are not content to be junior partners in the conservative movement, and various strains of white supremacy and the radical right in America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the Internet age, where access is no longer determined by the select few, the independent right has far greater opportunities to make its many voices heard. This timely work puts those voices into context and historical perspective, clarifying our understanding of the American right--past, present, and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHawley, George:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - George Hawley is assistant professor of political science at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa.
