"An intellectual tour de force about the origins of identity politics and the threat it presents to genuine, honest, old-fashioned liberalism.” —Bret Stephens, The New York Times

The Politics of Unreason is the first comprehensive analysis of right-wing extremism throughout American history. It traces the story of various efforts from 1790 on to preserve the values, interests, or status of various political, religious, ethnic, class, and status groups through appeals to conspiratorial and other beliefs which deny legitimacy, the right to partake in American life, to those they have perceived as un-American.
