Dramatically challenging our preconceptions of the hooded Klansmen responsible for establishing a Jim Crow racial hierarchy in the 1870s South, this \"second Klan\" spread in states principally above the Mason-Dixon line by courting xenophobic fears surrounding the flood of immigrant \"hordes\" landing on American shores. \"Part cautionary tale, part expose\" (\u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e), The Second Coming of the KKK \"illuminates the surprising scope of the movement\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e); the Klan attracted four-to-six-million members through secret rituals, manufactured news stories, and mass \"Klonvocations\" prior to its collapse in 1926--but not before its potent ideology of intolerance became part and parcel of the American tradition. A \"must-read\" (\u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e) for anyone looking to understand the current moment, \u003cem\u003eThe Second Coming of the KKK\u003c\/em\u003e offers \"chilling comparisons to the present day\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGordon, Linda:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Gordon\u003c\/strong\u003e, winner of two Bancroft Prizes and the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize, is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Second Coming of the KKK\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDorothea Lange\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eImpounded\u003c\/em\u003e, and the coauthor of \u003cem\u003eFeminism Unfinished\u003c\/em\u003e.
