Description

American Fascists: A Deeply Compelling Work of Cultural and Political Anthropology The Christian Right in America has long been a subject of controversy. They disseminate their ideas through various channels, including alternative broadcast networks and their own publishers and schools. Their intellectual leaders demand the dismantling of the secular state, while their followers are increasingly resentful and despairing. According to veteran journalist Chris Hedges, this movement is not what it seems. Hedges argues that the Christian Right's ideology is rooted in fascism, a system that seeks to control all aspects of society. He provides a step-by-step breakdown of how this movement has evolved over time, from its early beginnings to its current state. This book is a result of Hedges' on-the-ground reporting and his impassioned polemic against the Christian Right's ideology. A thought-provoking exploration of American politics and culture, American Fascists is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding this complex issue.
