How a more positive form of identity politics can restore public trust in governmentIlliberalism, Thomas Main writes, is the basic repudiation of liberal democracy, the very foundation on which the United States rests. Itsays no to electoral democracy, human rights, the rule of law, toleration. It is a political ideology that finds expression in such older rightwing extremist groups as the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists and more recently among the AltRight and the Dark Enlightenment. There are also leftofcenter illiberal movements, including various forms of communism, anarchism, and some antifascist movements.The Rise of Illiberalism explores the philosophical underpinnings of this toxic political ideology and documents how it has infiltrated the mainstream of political discourse in the United States. By the earlytwentyfirst century, Main writes, liberal democracy's failure to deal adequately with social problems created a space illiberal movements could exploit to promote their particular brands of identity politics as an alternative.A critical need thus is for what the author calls positive identity politics, or a widely shared sense of community that gives a feelingof equal importance to all sectors of society. Achieving this goal will, however, be an enormous challenge.In seeking actionable remedies for the broken political system of the United States, this book makes a major scholarly contribution tocurrent debates about the future of liberal democracy.'
