George Hawley, who has written extensively on conservatism and
right-wing ideologies in the U.S., presents a telling portrait of
conservatism’s relationship with identity politics. The American
conservative movement has consistently declared its opposition to
all forms of identity politics, arguing that such a form of
politics is at odds with individualism. In this persuasive study,
George Hawley examines the nature of identity politics in the
United States: how conservatives view and understand it, how they
embrace their own versions of identity, and how liberal and
conservative intellectuals and politicians navigate this equally
dangerous and potentially explosive landscape. Hawley begins his
analysis with a synopsis of the variety both of conservative
critiques of identity politics and of conservative explanations for
how it has come to define America’s current political terrain.
This historical account of differing conservative approaches to
identitarian concerns from the post-war era until today—including
race, gender, and immigration—foregrounds conservatism’s lack
of consistency in its critiques and ultimately its failure to
provide convincing arguments against identity politics. Hawley
explores the political right’s own employment of identity
politics, particularly in relation to partisan politics, and
highlights how party identification in the United States has become
a leading source of identity on both sides of the political
spectrum. Hawley also discusses this generation’s iteration of
American white nationalism, the Alt-Right, from whose rise and fall
conservatism may develop a more honest, realistic, and indeed
relevant approach to identity politics. Conservatism in a Divided
America examines sensitive subjects from a dispassionate,
fair-minded approach that will appeal to readers across the
ideological divide. The book will interest scholars in and
enthusiasts of political theory and psychology, American history,
and U.S. electoral politics.
