How did the American right wing, which began as a small clique of postWorld War II conservative intellectuals, transform into wellheeled, grassroots movements representing millions of ordinary citizens? Providing insight into todays headlines, Roads to Dominion answers this question with a compelling and thorough look at the broad range of rightwing movements in this country. Based on research that draws extensively from primary source literature, Sara Diamond traces the development of four types of rightwing movements over the past 50 yearsmthe anticommunist conservative movement, the racist Right, the Christian Right, and the neoconservativesmand provides an astute historical analysis of each. Maintaining a nonjudgmental tone throughout the book, she explores these movements roles within the political process and examines their relationships with administrations in power.The book opens with the immediate aftermath of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, when the anticommunist policies of the United States government encouraged the growth of rightwing movements. Continuing through the 1960s and beyond, chapters examine the influence of rightwing groups within the Republican Party and the rise of white supremacist groups in response to the gains of the civil rights movement. We see the transformation of the neoconservatives, from a small band of Cold War liberal intellectuals into a bastion of support for Reagan era foreign policy. The book traces the development of the Christian Right, from its early activity during the Cold War period straight through to its heyday as a powerful grassroots movement during the 1980s and 1990s. Throughout the book, Diamond explains the Rights fiftyyear quest for power. She shows how we can understand and even predict the Rights influence on daytoday policymaking in the United States by observing some consistent patterns in the Rights relationships with political elites and government agencies. In some predictable ways, the Right engages in both conflict and collaboration with state institutions.
