Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Rediscovering the Ku Klux Klan as a national movement in the 1920sIn 1915, forty years after the original Ku Klux Klan disbanded, a former farmer, circuit preacher, and university lecturer named Colonel William Joseph Simmons revived the secret society. By the early 1920s the KKK had been transformed into a national movement with millions of duespaying members and chapters in all of the nations fortyeight states. And unlike the Reconstructionera society, the Klan in the 1920s exerted its influence far beyond the South.In The Rise of the Ku Klux Klan, Rory McVeigh provides a revealing analysis of the broad social agenda of 1920sera KKK, showing that although the organization continued to promote white supremacy, it also addressed a surprisingly wide range of social and economic issues, targeting immigrants and, particularly, Catholics, as well as African Americans, as dangers to American society. In sharp contrast to earlier studies of the KKK, which focus on the local or regional level, McVeigh treats the Klan as it saw itselfas a national organization concerned with national issues. Drawing on extensive research into the Klans national publication, the Imperial NightHawk, he traces the ways in which Klan leaders interpreted national issues and how they attemptedand finally failedto influence national politics.More broadly, in detailing the Klans expansion in the early 1920s and its collapse by the end of the decade, McVeigh ultimately sheds light on the dynamics that fuel contemporary rightwing social movements that similarly blur the line between race, religion, and values.
