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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 237mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 490gAuthor: Carolyn GallaherGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
