Patricia Ventura, Edward K Chan

White Power and American Neoliberal Culture (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How two seemingly separate forces-white power and neoliberalism-intersect and polarize the United States today. White Power and American Neoliberal Culture speaks to the urgency of the present moment by uncovering and examining the ideologies that led us here. Working through sources such as white terrorist manifestos, white power utopian fiction, neoliberal think tank reports, and neoconservative policy statements, Patricia Ventura and Edward K. Chan analyze the conjunction of current forms of white supremacy and racial capitalism. Short and accessible, this timely book argues that white extremist worldviews-and the violence they provoke-have converged with a radical economic and social agenda to shape daily life in the United States, especially by enshrining the male-dominated white family as the ideal of national identity. Through insightful observation and critical dissection, Ventura and Chan paint a striking portrait of how these forces enable each other, perpetuating social injustice and inequity.
