Based on interviews with colorful conservative activists and extensive analyses of organizational documents,Righting Feminism offers a new way of understanding the unlikely intersection of women's activism and conservative politics in America today. Schreiber amply illustrates how conservative activists are often the beneficiaries of the very feminist politics they oppose. Yet just as importantly, she demolishes two widely believed truisms: that conservatism holds no appeal to women and that modern conservatism is hostile to the very notion of women's activism.

Unsanctioned Voice is the story of a writer who found himself on the losing side of a national debate about the limits of government- a debate that is even more crucial today. Garrett was the most eloquent enemy of FDR's policies at home and abroad and he paid the price for it.

Do you ever wonder why conservative pundits drop the word “faggot” or talk about killing and then Christianizing Muslims abroad? Do you wonder why the right’s spokespeople seem so confrontational, rude, and over-the-top recently? Does it seem strange that conservative books have such apocalyptic titles? Do you marvel at why conservative writers trumpeted the “rebel” qualities of George W. Bush just a few years back? There is no doubt that the style of the political right today is tough, brash, and by many accounts, not very conservative sounding. After all, isn’t conservatism supposed to be about maintaining standards, upholding civility, and frowning upon rebellion? Historian Kevin Mattson explains the apparent contradictions of the party in this fresh examination of the postwar conservative mind. Examining a big cast of characters that includes William F. Buckley, Whittaker Chambers, Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol, Kevin Phillips, David Brooks, and others, Mattson shows how right-wing intellectuals have always, but in different ways, played to the populist and rowdy tendencies in America’s political culture. He boldly compares the conservative intellectual movement to the radical utopians among the New Left of the 1960's and he explains how conservatism has ingested central features of American culture, including a distrust of sophistication and intellectualism and a love of popular culture, sensation, shock, and celebrity. Both a work of history and political criticism, Rebels All! shows how the conservative mind made itself appealing, but also points to its endemic problems. Mattson’s conclusion outlines how a recast liberalism should respond to the conservative ascendancy that has marked our politics for the last thirty years.

Le livre présente la vie quotidienne d'individus, hommes et femmes, qui ne croient pas à l'évolution des espèces, au rôle des syndicats, au droit des femmes à choisir d'avorter, à la prévention du crime, à l'inanité de la peine de mort, à l'importance de la négociation dans les couples, les familles ou encore sur le lieu de travail. Décriant le relativisme moral des années 1960, ces militants adoptent des modes d'action, plus discrets que ceux de la gauche contestataire, mais terriblement efficaces. C'est une véritable culture déclinée à travers neuf exemples : sur les campus, les radios, le lieu de travail (Wal Mart), les conservateurs se mobilisent. Même dans les banlieues, présentées comme des lieux de conformisme social et politique, les mères de famille s'activent jour après jour, aussi bien dans les conseils d'école de leurs progénitures qu'au cours de réunions de voisinage. À l'inverse du cliché vivace d'êtres déracinés, de petits blancs pauvres (rednecks), de violents extrémistes ou de familles « ringardes », on découvre une classe moyenne avec un solide capital culturel qui s'appuie sur des élites économiques sociales et intellectuelles. Les femmes sont souvent à la pointe de la lutte pour revendiquer le rôle immuable de la famille, les valeurs de l'Amérique éternelle ou encore le bon sens populaire de l'homme du commun. Pour défendre la sphère privée contre la menace de la sphère publique, on privatise les débats publics : l'entreprise devient une famille, les mères surveillent les programmes scolaires, la radio parle de valeurs familiales. Ce n'est pas un hasard si des questions d'ordre privée comme l'avortement et les questions sexuelles sont devenues un aiguillon du combat politique. Née dans les années 1960, cette révolution est une réaction aux mouvements de libération de gauche. Profondément ancrée dans le pays, elle possède ses références culturelles propres et forme le socle dur et actif de l'électorat de la droite américaine aujourd'hui.
