Despite th einnocuous name, the alt-right is a white-nationalist movement. Yet it differs from earlier racist groups: it is youthful and tech savvy, obsessed with provocation and trolling, amorphous, predominantly online, and mostly anonymous. And it was energized by Donald Trump's presidential campaign. In Making Sense of the Alt-Right, George Hawley provides an accessible introduction and gives vital perspective on the emergence of a group whose overt racism has confounded expectation for a more tolerant America. Hawley explains the movement's origins, evolution, methods, and core belief in white-identity politics. The book explores how the alt-right differs from traditional white nationalism, libertarianism, and other online illiberal ideologies such as neoreaction, as well as from mainstream Republicans and even Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. The alt-right's use of offensive humor and its trolling-driven approach, based in animosity to so-called political correctness, can make it difficult to determine true motivations. Yet through exclusive interviews and a careful study of the alt-right's influential texts, Hawley is able to paint a full picture of a mvoement that not only disagrees with liberalism but also fundamentally rejects most of the tenets of American conservatism. Hawley points to the alt-right's growing influence and makes a case for coming to a precise understanding of its beliefs without sensationalism or downplaying the movement's radicalism. -- from dust jacket. 000809195 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000809195 650_0 $$aWhite supremacy movements$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000809195 650_0 $$aWhite nationalism$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y21st century. 000809195 650_0 $$aWhites$$zUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 000809195 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1980- 000809195 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 000809195 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHawley, George (Political scientist).$$tMaking sense of the alt-right.$$dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2017]$$z9780231185127$$w(DLC) 2017016515$$w(OCoLC)987742156 000809195 852__ $$bacq 000809195 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000809195 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1628813$$zOnline Access 000809195 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:809195$$pGLOBAL_SET 000809195 980__ $$aEBOOK 000809195 980__ $$aBIB 000809195 982__ $$aEbook 000809195 983__ $$aOnline 000809195 994__ $$a92$$bISE
