While previous works on Trump's use of race have often been fragmented or secondary to broader narratives, Ehrenberg's study centers on the explicit weaponization of race by Trump, providing a comprehensive historical and theoretical framework. Through his analysis, Ehrenberg demonstrates that while Trump draws on previous Republican strategies, he distinguishes himself by his unwavering intention to transform the Republican Party into a political tool of a threatened racial order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book traces the evolution of the Grand Old Party's (GOP) stance on racial issues, from the constitutional objections of Goldwater to the overtures of George W. Bush toward Black citizens. Ehrenberg examines the role of racial animus in dismantling a significant portion of the Democratic Party's electoral coalition, paving the way for Trump's flirtation with white nationalism. He concludes that the Republican Party, having embraced and amplified white racial animus and resentment for over half a century, will find it challenging to abandon this legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Nationalism and the Republican Party is a valuable resource for academics and students engaged in the study of American politics, voting behavior, American party politics, race and American politics, twentieth-century American history, political leadership, politics of inequality, race and public policy. It offers a comprehensive examination of the historical and contemporary dynamics shaping the Republican Party's approach to race, shedding light on the profound implications of this shift for American society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 420g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032023427\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JohnEhrenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105138766074,"sku":"9781032023427","price":122.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657880309783_book.jpg?v=1658001040","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/white-nationalism-and-the-republican-party-toward-minority-rule-in-america-9781032023427","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
