New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education - The Nostalgia Spectrum

Informationen zum Autor By Michael H. Gavin Klappentext The New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education analyzes a new form of white nationalism that seeks to recruit mainstream citizens to achieve its goals. This New White Nationalism sees higher education, which imparts fact-based knowledge and interrogates history, social structures, and power, often from antiracist and multicultural lenses, as a threat. Michael H. Gavin reveals the tactics of The New White Nationalism and provides a tool called The Nostalgia Spectrum to examine American racism. In the process, the author demonstrates that what many scholars are calling a crisis in higher education is really a crisis of political and social imagination. Reimagining a socially just nation and leveraging higher education institutions that provide low-cost, accessible education to minorities as the first choice for middle class America could have transformative effects on the nation itself. Zusammenfassung The New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education analyses a new form of white nationalism that seeks to recruit mainstream citizens and sees higher education as a threat to achieving its goals. In doing so, Michael H. Gavin provides a tool, The Nostalgia Spectrum, to examine American racism within the text.
