Yet it differs from earlier racist groups: it is youthful and tech savvy, obsessed with provocation and trolling, amorphous, predominantly online, and mostly anonymous. And it was energized by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. In \u003ci\u003eMaking Sense of the Alt-Right\u003c\/i\u003e, George Hawley provides an accessible introduction and gives vital perspective on the emergence of a group whose overt racism has confounded expectations for a more tolerant America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHawley explains the movement’s origins, evolution, methods, and core belief in white-identity politics. The book explores how the alt-right differs from traditional white nationalism, libertarianism, and other online illiberal ideologies such as neoreaction, as well as from mainstream Republicans and even Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. The alt-right’s use of offensive humor and its trolling-driven approach, based in animosity to so-called political correctness, can make it difficult to determine true motivations. Yet through exclusive interviews and a careful study of the alt-right’s influential texts, Hawley is able to paint a full picture of a movement that not only disagrees with liberalism but also fundamentally rejects most of the tenets of American conservatism. Hawley points to the alt-right’s growing influence and makes a case for coming to a precise understanding of its beliefs without sensationalism or downplaying the movement’s radicalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 131 x 207 x 13 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780231185134                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeorgeHawley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095542722810,"sku":"9780231185134","price":16.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c82d7c97ac086c82fb414a1ca302a593.jpg?v=1627705136","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/making-sense-of-the-alt-right","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
