Description

Devin Fergus offers a groundbreaking reassessment of a pivotal moment in American political history, challenging conventional narratives about the relationship between liberalism and Black Power during the Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Helms administrations. Rather than viewing the liberal coalition as fractured by radical demands, Fergus argues that liberal politicians engaged in a productive relationship with black nationalist movements, integrating black separatists into mainstream politics whilst constraining more violent trajectories. This revisionist interpretation reframes the rise of the New Right not simply as a conservative reaction to Great Society Democrats, but as a complex response shaped by liberal engagement with Black Power ideology. Published by the University of Georgia Press, this scholarly work provides essential context for understanding how mid-twentieth-century American politics developed through the intersection of competing ideological forces, offering students and scholars new analytical tools for interpreting the civil rights era and its aftermath.

Key Features

Devin Fergus examines the interaction between liberalism and black nationalism across the tumultuous period from 1965 to 1980, challenging standard historical interpretations of American politics.

The book reframes the liberal coalition's relationship with Black Power movements as productive rather than destructive, showing how radical activists were absorbed into mainstream political structures.

University of Georgia Press publication provides rigorous academic analysis of how political developments during the Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Helms administrations shaped modern American conservatism.

This work offers scholars and students critical perspectives on the New Right's emergence, arguing it arose partly through liberal engagement with black separatist movements, not merely in opposition to them.

The book belongs to the Politics and Culture in the Twentieth-Century South series, connecting racial politics to broader regional and national historical narratives.
