The American conservative movement as we know it faces an
existential crisis as the nation's demographics shift away from its
core constituents-older white middle-class Christians. It is the
American conservatism that we don't know that concerns George
Hawley in this book. During its ascendancy, leaders within the
conservative establishment have energetically policed the
movement's boundaries, effectively keeping alternative versions of
conservatism out of view. Returning those neglected voices to the
story, Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism offers a more
complete, complex, and nuanced account of the American right in all
its dissonance in history and in our day. The right-wing
intellectual movements considered here differ both from mainstream
conservatism and from each other when it comes to fundamental
premises, such as the value of equality, the proper role of the
state, the importance of free markets, the place of religion in
politics, and attitudes toward race. In clear and dispassionate
terms, Hawley examines localists who exhibit equal skepticism
toward big business and big government, paleoconservatives who look
to the distant past for guidance and wish to turn back the clock,
radical libertarians who are not content to be junior partners in
the conservative movement, and various strains of white supremacy
and the radical right in America. In the Internet age, where access
is no longer determined by the select few, the independent right
has far greater opportunities to make its many voices heard. This
timely work puts those voices into context and historical
perspective, clarifying our understanding of the American
right-past, present, and future.
