McVeigh, Rory,

The politics of losing : Trump, the Klan, and the mainstreaming of resentment / Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep. - 1 online resource (310 pages)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The Ku Klux Klan in American history -- Power and political alignments -- Economics and white nationalism -- Where Trump found his base -- Politics and white nationalism -- Status and white nationalism -- White nationalism versus the press -- The future of white nationalism and American politics.

Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep trace the parallels between the 192s Klan and today's right-wing backlash, identifying the conditions that allow white nationalism to emerge from the shadows. Their sociological analysis of the Klan's outbreaks sheds light on how Trump's rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances.
