Confronting Ethnic White Christian Nationalism
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.

The Death of Expertise
"In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--
Making Sense of the Alt-Right
During the 2016 election, a new term entered the mainstream American political lexicon: “alt-right,” short for “alternative right.” Despite the innocuous name, the alt-right is a white-nationalist movement. Yet it differs from earlier racist groups: it is youthful and tech savvy, obsessed with provocation and trolling, amorphous, predominantly online, and mostly anonymous. And it was energized by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. In Making Sense of the Alt-Right, George Hawley provides an accessible introduction and gives vital perspective on the emergence of a group whose overt racism has confounded expectations for a more tolerant America. Hawley explains the movement’s ori...
