Viewing the modern Right as more than a passing fad for state-anxious individuals, this volume treats the current US conservative movement as an important effort to contextualize and rearticulate the truths taken for granted in the American liberal tradition. As a response to the apparent rightward turn in the United States, the contributors argue against the view that the conservative-driven culture wars are nothing more than a symbolic battle of ideas. They warn against pigeon-holing the political Right in terms of single-issue politics, such as the pro-life movement, and instead propose that the New Right, although inconsistent on policy, is ideologically coherent in totality - and a force to be reckoned with.
