Beschreibung
This book uses a quantitative-statistical approach to examine the impact of the White Christian nationalist movement on American society, focusing on its influence on social institutions. Why has a plurality of citizens in the US supported nationalistic, inequitable, oppressive political philosophies? Chuck A. Baker argues that citizens become more receptive to nationalism when it is presented in racialized and religious terms, when racial and religious segregation is made acceptable by invoking fear that forces citizens to choose and accept a zero sum perception of winning for their survival, and by tying it to a religious context makes ethnic nationalism less unpleasant through the implication that it is divinely ordained. By exploring the interaction between ethnic nationalism and Christian nationalism and in a variety of social institutions including government, media, education, military, and economy, Chuck A. Baker reveals the justifications and rationalizations that contribute to making right-wing politics appealing to some people.
