Reviews
"A unique work that may well remain unmatched for years to come. It has an incredible breadth and depth of scholarship and reporting on its subject matter....Read this book, if your read no other, between now and the start of the next Millennium."--The American Reporter, "An absorbing, painstaking, overdue, typology and elucidation of the central phenomenon in American politics of the last 20 years." --Kirkus Reviews "While there have been plenty of books written about the left, scholars haven't paid anywhere near the same attention to the American Right. This book, one of the most sweeping studies of its kind goes a long way toward rectifying the imbalance.... Rather than emphasize each groups' extremism, as the media often does, Diamond makes clear their links to mainstream thought and to the political and business thought and to sustain them. She makes dozens of crucial connections... This book should prove a touchstone of future discussion about the right, which is more powerful today than at any time since the 1920s." --Publishers Weekly "'Any time there's a mass social movement, it's assumed that its members are crazy,' says Sara Diamond, an independent scholar who has been studying the right for over a decade. So there are entire aspects of the right wing that haven't been covered - because they don't fit the frame of 'kooky extremist.'.... Diamond's encyclopedic new book,Roads to Dominion: Right-Wing Movements and Political Power in the United Statesstudies the postwar American right in both its mainstream and its fringe Incarnations." --Lingua Franca "Diamond's panoramic analytic overview and self-assured command of the facts make this the most important comprehensive book on the U.S. right ever written." --The Progressive "...provides a strong sociological study of the U.S.... One of the more comprehensive studies available, this is a 'must' for anyone studying right wing group movements." --The Bookwatch "Roads to Dominionmakes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the continuing right wing attack." --Z Magazine "A lushly-detailed sociological analysis that provides the most cogent and complex overview of the U.S. political right since WWII ever published." --The Public Eye "....useful reading for feminists....Will give feminist readers a more sophisticated understanding of the success of the Right as a whole, which can only help in formulating strategies to combat its efforts against feminism....Observes and analyzes the Right with a clear mind, an attitude of respect and a willingness to point out blundering, hypocrisy, and deception on the Left. Her work is invaluable for anyone who wants to get past partisan rhetoric....Probably the most comprehensive study of the recent U.S. Right in existence....An essential book, an important book in many ways a fascinating book...." --The Women's Review of Books "Should be required reading for any serious student of the subject." --Political Science Quarterly "A major delight is the book's sheer comprehensiveness. For individuals investigating the U.S. political right,Roads to Dominionis a necessary addition to their professional library....Another strength of Diamond's book is its even-handedness....Diamond's historical narrative provides a refreshing contrast to some of the more hyperventilated tomes examining the rise of the political right, and the Christian right in particular....A solid and highly readable book.Roads to Dominionshould quickly become standard fare." --Religion and Education Forum "Diamond's analysis provides good evidence to counter those who exaggerate the strength, unity and popular base of the right." --The Socialist Worker "... powerful, and chilling..." --Agenda "For all those casting wary glances at the ascendant right,Roads to Dominionis a must read.... Sara Diamond has done an excellent job of illuminating the nature of the US right. And she has laid the groundwork for more well-informed polemics against the rightist threat." --Covert Action Quarterly Named as an Outstanding Book on the, "This is, without a doubt, the most important sociological study of the U.S. right ever written. In a field so often dominated by polemic and jeremiad, this is the most lucid, systematic, sober, and sobering analysis I have ever read. This really is a landmark study, and will shape the contours of future research for generations to come." --Gerry O'Sullivan, Ph.D., Fordham University "Sara Diamond'sRoads to Dominionis a major contribution to the literature on movements of the right in the U.S., a sweeping and at the same time careful and detailed account of the rise of right wing movements in the postwar era. While there are many scholars studying progressive social movements, Sara Diamond is one of a very few examining the currently much larger and more influential movements of the right. Her book is valuable for its informative and judicious presentation of this history and its balanced treatment of the various sections of the right: religious and secular, elite and popular. Diamond persuasively argues that movements of the right have grown by making alliances with elites in the realm of electoral politics while maintaining a popular culture outside the state. This book should be read by anyone who wants to understand the shift to the right that has taken place in the U.S. in recent decades." --Barbara Epstein, Professor, History of Consciousness, University of California, Santa Cruz "An excellent and highly educational book by a sociologist who writes in readable English. It teems with information about the history, leaders, organizations, and ideas of the major conservative movements of the last 50 years in the U.S.... Nobody exceeds Diamond... in the range and depth of information she provides about the conservative movements she has studied in historical perspective: how they arise, their resources, their ideologies, and the reasons for their successes and failures." --R.B. Fowler, University of Wisconsin - Madison "Sara Diamond's latest book is a welcome addition to this burgeoning literature, and quite different in its approach from other recent studies of the right....indispensable to anyone interested in right-wing social movements." --Abby L.

Synopsis
Providing insight into today's headlines and tomorrow's news stories, Roads to Dominion offers a compelling look at the history of right-wing movements. Based on extensive research on organizations large and small, author Diamond traces the development of four types of right-wing movements over the past 50 years and provides an astute historical analysis of each., How did the American right wing, which began as a small clique of post-World War II conservative intellectuals, transform into well-heeled, grassroots movements representing millions of ordinary citizens? Providing insight into today's headlines, Roads to Dominion answers this question with a compelling and thorough look at the broad range of right-wing movements in this country. Based on research that draws extensively from primary source literature, Sara Diamond traces the development of four types of right-wing movements over the past 50 years\m-\the anticommunist conservative movement, the racist Right, the Christian Right, and the neoconservatives\m-\and provides an astute historical analysis of each. Maintaining a nonjudgmental tone throughout the book, she explores these movements' roles within the political process and examines their relationships with administrations in power. The book opens with the immediate aftermath of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, when the anticommunist policies of the United States government encouraged the growth of right-wing movements. Continuing through the 1960s and beyond, chapters examine the influence of right-wing groups within the Republican Party and the rise of white supremacist groups in response to the gains of the civil rights movement. We see the transformation of the neoconservatives, from a small band of Cold War liberal intellectuals into a bastion of support for Reagan era foreign policy. The book traces the development of the Christian Right, from its early activity during the Cold War period straight through to its heyday as a powerful grassroots movement during the 1980s and 1990s. Throughout the book, Diamond explains the Right's fifty-year quest for power. She shows how we can understand and even predict the Right's influence on day-to-day policymaking in the United States by observing some consistent patterns in the Right's relationships with political elites and government agencies. In some predictable ways, the Right engages in both conflict and collaboration with state institutions.
