Due to the economic globalization over the last twenty years, white
workers have seen their racial dominance challenged and the
security of their jobs assaulted, making them ripe for
mobilization. On the Fault Line examines the American Patriot
Movement a broad, right-wing social movement that includes
militias, Second Amendment activists, tax protestors, and
individuals who drop out of the system. Carolyn Gallaher uncovers
how the Patriot Movement addresses the conflicting social positions
of its members predominantly white, working class males. Arguing
that discourses of patriotism obscure the class-based nature of
their concerns, Gallaher asserts that these patriots buttress their
racial anxieties through safe, acceptable nationalistic coding.
While patriots have been mobilized by the right wing, this book
presents potent reasons why the left could intervene, and to better
effect. For all those interested in the fluctuating systems of
power within the United States, Gallaher's work proves to be a
fascinating and unique analysis."
