Smith contends that ideological conservatism and racism are and always have been equivalent in the United States. In this carefully constructed and thoroughly documented philosophical, historical, and empirical inquiry, Smith analyzes conservative ideas from John Locke to William F. Buckley, Jr., as well as the parallels between the rise and decline of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1970s and the ascendancy of the conservative movement to national power in 1980. Using archival material from the Reagan library, the book includes detailed analysis of the Reagan presidency and race, focusing on affirmative action, the Voting Rights act, the Grove City case, welfare reform, South Africa policy, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Conservatism and Racism, and Why in America They are the Same goes beyond a focus on the right wing, concluding with an analysis of the enduring impact of the conservative movement and the Reagan presidency on liberalism, race, and the Democratic Party. 410 0$aSUNY series in African American studies. 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aConservatism 676 $a305.800973 700 $aSmith$b Robert C$g(Robert Charles),$f1947-2023.$01594161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810476703321 996 $aConservatism and racism, and why in America they are the same$94147749 997 $aUNINA
