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. 410 0$aAmerican history and culture (New York University Press) 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States 606 $aCultural pluralism$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States 606 $aGroup identity$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1980-2020 610 $aAmerican conservatism. 610 $aBlack Republicans. 610 $aLog Cabin Republicans. 610 $aRight wing movements. 610 $aconservative African Americans. 610 $aconservative Latinos. 610 $apolitical movements. 610 $apolitical parties. 610 $asocial movements. 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 615 0$aConservatism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aGroup identity$xPolitical aspects 676 $a305.8/00973 700 $aDillard$b Angela D.$f1965-$01477508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780179303321 996 $aGuess who's coming to dinner now$93692705 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02898nam 22006013u 450 001 9910165006903321 005 20230126220325.0 010 $a9782511001790 010 $a2511001799 035 $a(CKB)3790000000024824 035 $a(EBL)2088817 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2088817 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2088817 035 $a(OCoLC)914149673 035 $a(Perlego)3578294 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000024824 100 $a20150720d2013|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSummary of The Age of Fallibility 210 $aCork $cPrimento Digital$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (21 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9782512004295 311 08$a2512004295 327 $aTitle page; Book Presentation; Book Abstract; About the Author; Important Note About This Ebook; Summary of The Age of Fallibility (George Soros); Thinking and Reality; The Meaning of Open Society; What's Wrong With America?; A Feel-Good Society; What's Wrong with the World Order?; Exploring the Alternatives; The Global Energy Crisis; Buy the Book; About the Summary Publisher; Copyright 330 $a This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by George Soros in his book "The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror".
