"A must-own title." -National Review Online American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia is the first comprehensive reference volume to cover what is surely the most influential political and intellectual movement of the past half century. More than fifteen years in the making-and more than half a million words in length-this informative and entertaining encyclopedia contains substantive entries on those persons, events, organizations, and concepts of major importance to postwar American conservatism. Its contributors include iconic patriarchs of the conservative and libertarian movements, celebrated scholars, well-known authors, and influential movement activists and leaders. Ranging from "abortion" to "Zoll, Donald Atwell," and written from viewpoints as various as those which have informed the postwar conservative movement itself, the encyclopedia's more than 600 entries will orient readers of all kinds to the people and ideas that have given shape to contemporary American conservatism. This long-awaited volume is not to be missed

This book is a collection of primary source documents from leading constitutional conservatives during the period 1900-1930, many reproduced for the first time.

American conservatives are divided about the future of legal immigration. Whereas some assert that the US should remain a 'nation of immigrants', others insist that immigration levels should be reduced to a bare minimum. The divisions owe much to ddifferent conceptions of American national identity. Whereas some represent the US as a 'universal nation' open to all those who subscribe to particular political and philosophical principles, growing numbers within the conservative movement put forward visions of an American nation structured around a distinct ethno-culture. The rifts are deeply rooted, and have consequences for the future of both American conservatism and the Republican Party.

Interview with U.S. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick concerning her domestic policy views.

The history of conservatism prior to 1979 in GB & the US is traced, & its rapid growth & widespread acceptance since 1979 are detailed. In both countries, the political culture has been modified, but not transformed, by conservatism. Although stronger than at any time since 1945, conservatism is not yet the dominant ideology. Events during 1986 suggest that a deepening of conservative influence over policy formation & institutions will not be easily obtained, as the authority of both governments has been brought into question on issues of national importance. 3 Tables.

This collective work compares US and UK conservative thought in the areas of the meaning of rights, foreign policy mission, the role of religious activism within their respective party politics, and the impact of the current economic crisis on conservative economic orthodoxy. Intended both for political scientists and the general public, it is hoped this work will add to the understanding of what constitutes conservatism, and help reveal the common strands of thought which unite them.

While themes associated with contemporary black conservatism appear to replicate the concerns of the US Right more generally, not all black conservative intellectuals & activists draw on US constitutional tradition & neoclassical economics; others derive their politics from notions of racial solidarity. This form of black conservatism rests on particular constructions of black masculinity, invokes images of a past age when black communities were both intact & stable, & regards integrationism with suspicion & hostility. However, it also offers a relatively optimistic vision of future developments that can be contrasted with the more constrained ambitions characterizing mainstream US conservatism today. 36 References.

History faced by the disaster of depression, Congress in the early 1930s proved amenable to the far-reaching demands and programs presented to it by the newly elected President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, but by 1937 it showed increasing resistance, even outright opposition, to many New Deal measures. In this study, James T. Patterson examines this resurgence of conservative strength in Congress, focusing upon the personalities and backgrounds of the men involved and upon the key domestic issues which brought them together in an informal coalition opposed to executive plans, especially for the yea
