White Nationalism and the Republican PartyToward Minority Rule in America\nAuthor(s): John Ehrenberg\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032023427, 978-1032023427\nSynopsis\nIn this book, John Ehrenberg argues that Donald Trump, as both candidate and president, represents a qualitatively new stage in the evolution of the Republican Partys willingness to exploit American racial tensions.\n\nWorks on Trumps use of race have tended to be fragmentary or subsidiary to a larger purpose. Ehrenberg concentrates his investigation on Trumps weaponized use of race, contextualized through historical and theoretical details, demonstrating that while Trump draws on previous Republican strategies, he stands apart through his explicit intention to convert the Republican Party into a political instrument of a threatened racial order. The book traces the Grand Old Partys (GOP) approach to racial matters from Goldwaters constitutional.
