Angela Dillard offers the first comparative analysis of a conservatism which today cuts across the boundaries of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. To be an African-American and a conservative, or a Latino who is also a conservative and a homosexual, is to occupy an awkward and contested political position. Dillard explores the philosophies, politics, and motivation of minority conservatives such as Ward Connerly, Glenn Loury, Linda Chavez, Clarence Thomas, and Bruce Bawer, as well as their tepid reception by both the Left and Right. Welcomed cautiously by the conservative movement, they have also frequently been excoriated by those African Americans, Latinos, women, and homosexuals who view their conservatism as betrayal. Dillard's comprehensive study, among the first to take the history and political implications of multicultural conservatism seriously, is a vital source for understanding contemporary American conservatism in all its forms.American history and culture (New York University Press)Guess who is coming to dinner now?MinoritiesPolitical activityUnited StatesConservatismUnited StatesCultural pluralismUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesGroup identityPolitical aspectsUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesEthnic relationsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPolitics and government1989-United StatesSocial conditions1980-MinoritiesPolitical activityConservatismCultural pluralismPolitical cultureGroup identityPolitical aspects305.8/00973Dillard Angela D.1965-1654114MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821598903321Guess who's coming to dinner now4005745UNINA
