It is a valuable resource for scholars of the American extreme right. -- George Hawley, University of Alabama Mulloy’s study is a masterful history of the development of the American extreme right from its inception in 1915, when the Ku Klux Klan was revived in Stone Mountain, Georgia, to the contemporary alt-right and its relationship with the nationalist-populism advanced by Donald Trump. He demonstrates the different approaches that the extreme right subculture has employed to influence politics, culture, and public discourse. While some right-wing activists have sought to normalize white nationalism and introduce it to the mainstream of America, others have espoused violent revolution and racial separatism. Reading Mulloy’s book will provide great insight into the alarming polarization that bedevils the United States today. -- George Michael, Westfield State University Mulloy's book is essential reading for Americans interested in safeguarding democratic equality, and that should be all of us. * Great Plains Quarterly * Author InformationD.
