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- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$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-$01032077 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455693103321 996 $aGuess who's coming to dinner now$92449718 997 $aUNINA
