Making Sense of the Alt-Right by George Hawley
During the 2016 election, a new term entered the American political lexicon: alt-right. George Hawley provides an accessible introduction to this troubling racist movement, detailing its origins, evolution, methods, and core belief in white nationalism through exclusive interviews and a careful study of the alt-rights influential texts.
Making Sense of the Alt-Right understands alt-right thinking from the insideGeorge Hawley's erudition on the subject is evident. The work is supple in tracing out the lineage and development of the movement against the conservative establishment, and in explaining its present incarnation in the form of the alt-right. -- Lawrence Rosenthal, University of California, Berkeley Making Sense of the Alt-Right is clearly written, insightful, and impressively documented, getting the reader genuinely close to the essence of this amorphous movement. I know of no other work that does nearly as good a job of dealing with the alt-right, and I suspect that this will become the "go-to" work on the movement for students, politicians, and serious readers alike. -- Michael Barkun, Syracuse University
