Description

The definitive firsthand account of the movement that permanently broke the American political consensus.

What do internet trolls, economic populists, white nationalists, techno-anarchists and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing, except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-called “Cathedral” from whence it pours forth.

Contrary to the dissembling explanations from the corporate press, this movement did not emerge overnight—nor are its varied subgroups in any sense interchangeable with one another. As united by their opposition as they are divided by their goals, the members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those in the mainstream who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was there from the very inception, and in The New Right recounts their tale from the beginning.

Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the New Right as a movement of ideas—ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon.

Today’s fringe is tomorrow’s orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required reading for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

    An excellent review of the political alliance which makes up the right during our time. It is excellent that the two halves of the right in accordance with NRx theory are represented here in alliance by embracing natural rights and natural hierarchies.
  • Very articulate and detailed overview

    Of what on earth has been happening on the fringes of ‘right’ thought leaders. That weasel Malice does a really good job of hitting the full range from the mildly off beat through to full on crazy people. His prose is also stellar. Also, the basic thesis of how “marginalized” groups create what is cool (and how that flows and grows through society) makes a lot of sense.
  • Extremely enlightening

    I have been a fan of Michael Malice since I first heard him on the Tom Woods show. He continues to produce gloriously informative content and this book is no exception. Truly it has help me better understand some many aspects of American culture that I had not gotten before as well as shaped my thinking on what is to come.
