A Vintage Shorts Selection
Â
A timely reissue of acclaimed historian Richard Hofstadterâ€™s authoritative and unforgettable essay. First published in 1964 and no less relevant half a century later, The Paranoid Style in American PoliticsÂ scrutinizes the conditions that gave rise to the extreme right of the 1950s and the 1960s, and presages the ascendancy of the Tea Party movement and, now, Donald Trumpâ€™s 2016 presidential campaign.
Â
Fringe groups can and do both influence and derail American politics, and Hofstadter remains indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand why paranoia, a persistent psychic phenomenon with an outsize role in American public life, refuses to abate.
