Description: "Mobilizing Resentment offers a map of the political battles being fought in America."--BOOK JACKET. "In this book, Jean Hardisty chronicles the recent history of the right, a history Hardisty has often viewed firsthand. She details the formation of right-wing movements in opposition to the struggle for expansion of rights for women, people of color, and lesbians and gays. Interspersed throughout her analysis are her own experiences spanning three decades as both an activist and observer."--BOOK JACKET.
