Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump
by David NeiwertThe story of the remarkable resurgence of right-wing extremists in the United StatesJust as Donald Trump’s victorious campaign for the US presidency shocked the world, the seemingly sudden national prominence of white supremacists, xenophobes, militia leaders, and mysterious “alt-right” figures mystifies many. But the American extreme right has been growing steadily in number and influence since the 1990s with the rise of patriot militias. Following 9/11, conspiracy theorists found fresh life; and in virulent reaction to the first black US president, militant racists have come out of the woodwork. Nurtured by a powerful right-wing media sector in radio, TV, and online, the far right, Tea Party movement conservatives, and Republican activists found common ground. Figures such as Stephen Bannon, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Alex Jones, once rightly dismissed as cranks, now haunt the reports of mainstream journalism.Investigative reporter David Neiwert has been tracking extremists for more than two decades. In Alt-America, he provides a deeply researched and authoritative report on the growth of fascism and far-right terrorism, the violence of which in the last decade has surpassed anything inspired by Islamist or other ideologies in the United States. The product of years of reportage, and including the most in-depth investigation of Trump’s ties to the far right, this is a crucial book about one of the most disturbing aspects of American society.
Alt-Education: Gender, Knowledge and Far-right Metapolitics (Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right)
by Catherine TebaldiAlt-Education looks at the stories the right tells about schools: a fight between an evil, indoctrinating government and a far-right freethinking truth warrior, between a frigid cultural Marxist teacher and a loving Christian mother.This book explores the link between education, gender, and far-right metapolitics, and offers insights into the ways in which it circulates and is normalized. Through digital ethnography and fieldwork it explores the production, circulation, and interpretation of these discourses and the ideologies they express, tracing their movement across four groups of women in the US and UK – fascists, white nationalist, Christian nationalists, and Republicans. Although often understood to be opposed to education, the far-right is instead opposed to schooling – and offers its own practices of alt-education. Through media, alternative schools and home education, the far-right teaches their ideologies of gender and race, knowledge, and power, as well as transmitting alternative histories, sociologies, and conspiracies. From mom’s groups to digital discourses about the evils of public schools, social media are key arenas in which women not only teach, but are taught, far-right alternative knowledge. Alt-education teaches reactionary ideology as a timeless truth, normalizing it through discourses of home, family and love. At the same time, alt-education borrows and co-opts the language of critique – normalizing racism, sexism and fascism a kind of alternative knowledge, while making it exciting as a countercultural critique of “woke” liberal indoctrination. The book concludes with a look at this attempt to “speak post-truth to power” as a way of normalizing and spreading their ideology – bringing alt-education to a wide audience as their critiques of “woke” politics spreads across the US, UK, and into Europe.This book is aimed at scholars of the far-right and gender, as well as scholars and practitioners of education. Written in an accessible and engaging tone, this book will be of interest to both researchers and advanced undergraduates.
Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers' Rights
by Daniel J. GalvinOver the last half century, two major developments have transformed the nature of workers’ rights and altered the pathways available to low-wage workers to combat their exploitation. First, while national labor law, which regulates unionization and collective bargaining, has grown increasingly ineffective, employment laws establishing minimal workplace standards have proliferated at the state and local levels. Second, as labor unions have declined, a diversity of small, under-resourced nonprofit “alt-labor” groups have emerged in locations across the United States to organize and support marginalized workers. In Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers’ Rights, political scientist Daniel J. Galvin draws on rich data and extensive interviews to examine the links between these developments. With nuance and insight, Galvin explains how alt-labor groups are finding creative ways to help their members while navigating the many organizational challenges and structural constraints they face in this new context. Alt-labor groups have long offered their members services and organizing opportunities to contest their unfair treatment on the job. But many groups have grown frustrated by the limited impact of these traditional strategies and have turned to public policy to scale up their work. They have successfully led campaigns to combat wage theft, raise the minimum wage, improve working conditions, strengthen immigrants’ rights, and more. These successes present something of a puzzle: relative to their larger, wealthier, and better-connected opponents, alt-labor groups are small, poor, and weak. Their members are primarily low-wage immigrant workers and workers of color who are often socially, economically, and politically marginalized. With few exceptions, the groups lack large dues-paying memberships and are dependent on philanthropic foundations and other unpredictable sources of funding. How, given their myriad challenges, have alt-labor groups managed to make gains for their members? Galvin reveals that alt-labor groups are leveraging their deep roots in local communities, their unique position in the labor movement, and the flexibility of their organizational forms to build their collective power and extend their reach. A growing number of groups have also become more politically engaged and have set out to alter their political environments by cultivating more engaged citizens, influencing candidate selection processes, and expanding government capacities. These efforts seek to enhance alt-labor groups’ probabilities of success in the near term while incrementally shifting the balance of power over the long term. Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers’ Rights comprehensively details alt-labor’s turn to policy and politics, provides compelling insights into the dilemmas the groups now face, and illuminates how their efforts have both invigorated and complicated the American labor movement.
Alt-Right Gangs: A Hazy Shade of White
by Shannon E. Reid Matthew ValasikAlt-Right Gangs provides a timely and necessary discussion of youth-oriented groups within the white power movement. Focusing on how these groups fit into the current research on street gangs, Shannon E. Reid and Matthew Valasik catalog the myths and realities around alt-right gangs and their members; illustrate how they use music, social media, space, and violence; and document the risk factors for joining an alt-right gang, as well as the mechanisms for leaving. By presenting a way to understand the growth, influence, and everyday operations of these groups, Alt-Right Gangs informs students, researchers, law enforcement members, and policy makers on this complex subject. Most significantly, the authors offer an extensively evaluated set of prevention and intervention strategies that can be incorporated into existing anti-gang initiatives. With a clear, coherent point of view, this book offers a contemporary synthesis that will appeal to students and scholars alike.
Alt-Right Movement: Dissecting Racism, Patriarchy and Anti-immigrant Xenophobia
by Ipsita ChatterjeeFirst prize for Excellence in Book Production 2021 The Alt-Right movement has gained prominence in recent years after distinguishing itself from traditional conservatism and mobilizing support on social media. Its critique of contemporary diversity politics is now gaining considerable attention. Alt-Right Movement: Dissecting Racism, Patriarchy and Anti-immigrant Xenophobia presents a comprehensive study of the Alt-Right movement by examining its objectives and strategies through speeches, tweets and media responses of its followers. The book traces the movement’s ideological pioneers and analyses reports of right-wing think tanks to understand how the Alt-Right conceives of its identity, perceives ‘the other’ and gains popular support. The study explores the Alt-Right’s complex reconciliation of individualism with group identity and the movement’s controversial attitude towards gender, race, nationalism and immigration. These findings become the basis for exploring extremist identity politics juxtaposed against the possibility of coexistence in an increasingly polarized world.
Alta California: From San Diego to San Francisco, A Journey on Foot to Rediscover the Golden State
by Nick NeelyThis national bestseller chronicles one man’s 650–mile trek on foot from San Diego to San Francisco—sure to appeal to readers of naturalist works like Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire, Paul Thoreau’s On the Plain of Snakes, and Mark Kenyon’s That Wild Country.In 1769, an expedition led by Gaspar de Portolá sketched a route that would become, in part, the famous El Camino Real. It laid the foundation for the Golden State we know today, a place that remains as mythical and captivating as any in the world.Despite having grown up in California, Nick Neely realized how little he knew about its history. So he set off to learn it bodily, with just a backpack and a tent, trekking through stretches of California both lonely and urban. For twelve weeks, following the journal of expedition missionary Father Juan Crespí, Neely kept pace with the ghosts of the Portolá expedition—nearly 250 years later.Weaving natural and human history, Alta California relives Neely’s adventure, while telling a story of Native cultures and the Spanish missions that soon devastated them, and exploring the evolution of California and its landscape. The result is a collage of historical and contemporary California, of lyricism and pedestrian serendipity, and of the biggest issues facing California today—water, agriculture, oil and gas, immigration, and development—all of it one step at a time.“Rich in little–known history . . . Up the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county coasts, then inland into the Salinas Valley to Monterey Bay. Somewhere along here, the owl moons and woodpeckers do something you might not have thought possible in 2019: they make you fall, or refall, in love with California, ungrudgingly, wildfires and insane housing prices and all . . . What a journey, you think. What a state." —San Francisco Chronicle
Alta negra: Fuerza, perseverancia y liderazgo
by Evelina CabreraLa historia de Evelina Cabrera, la entrenadora y ex jugadora de fútbol que pasó de vivir en la calle y cuidar coches a ser la presidenta de la Asociación Femenina de Fútbol Argentino y disertar en la ONU. Si cuento mi vida es porque tiene algunos hechos extraordinarios que la convirtieron en una existencia más visible que otras. Pero también porque tiene gran parte en común con la de muchas niñas y jóvenes que pueden sentirse identificadas y acompañadas y eso, creo, le da más valor a esta historia. La historia de Evelina Cabrera es una entre millones. Tiene, como ella dice, 70 años comprimidos en sus 33. Pasó de una infancia vulnerable a ser una referente del fútbol femenino, crear la Asociación Femenina de Fútbol Argentino y dar una conferencia en la ONU sobre su trabajo social con las mujeres, a quienes brinda herramientas para empoderarse y cambiar su vida. Hoy es un ejemplo de superación, de búsqueda y de una activa militancia contra toda forma de discriminación. Evelina forma parte de una época en que las mujeres marcan un rumbo diferente, alejado de roles estereotipados, liberadas de mandatos restrictivos, y en este mundo nuevo alza su voz. Una historia que es, y puede ser también, la historia de todas nosotras.
Altamente sensible: El poder de sentir, cuidar y conectar
by Jenn Granneman Andre SóloTu sensibilidad es una fortaleza, aprende a usarla. Un libro eminentemente práctico e inspirador que cambiará, de una vez por todas, nuestra percepción de las personas altamente sensibles y les dará alas. Todo el mundo tiene un lado sensible, pero una de cada tres personas posee una genética que la hace, física y emocionalmente, más sensible que los demás. Piensan antes de hablar y de actuar, perciben detalles sutiles y hacen conexiones que otros pasan por alto; suelen ser inteligentes, de gran corazón y muy creativas; están programadas para profundizar, pero la sociedad las induce a ocultar su sensibilidad. Son las personas altamente sensibles (PAS), y este es el libro que las defiende y empodera. La manera de prosperar como persona altamente sensible no es ocultar la propia sensibilidad, sino abrazarla. Jenn Granneman y Andre Sólo, creadores de la comunidad para PAS más grande del mundo, enseñan cómo desbloquear el potencial de esta fortaleza infravalorada y cómo aprovecharla en las áreas más importantes de la vida: las amistades, las relaciones, el trabajo, el liderazgo, y la crianza de los hijos. Entrelazando consejos prácticos, anécdotas y las últimas investigaciones científicas, los autores muestran la gran ventaja de lo que llaman el «efecto impulsor de la sensibilidad» y brindan las herramientas y los conocimientos necesarios para triunfar como PAS en un mundo ruidoso, rápido y en exceso agitado. La crítica ha dicho:«Este magnífico libro replantea cómo percibir la alta sensibilidad -nuestra o de otra persona- y arroja luz sobre el gran poder inherente a estar tan en sintonía con el mundo».Susan Cain, autora de El poder de los introvertidos, n.º 1 de The New York Times«Granneman y Sólo ofrecen una hábil combinación de informes científicos y consejos, una oportunidad única e imprescindible para aprovechar el enorme poder del individuo sensible en un mundo cada vez más ruidoso».Cal Newport, autor de Digital Minimalism y Deep «Una lectura absolutamente obligada para aquellos que experimentan este mundo con profundos sentimiento, conciencia y empatía».Ellen Hendriksen, autora de How to Be Yourself «El libro de Grannemany Sólo amplía nuestros horizontes. Es una victoria para la humanidad».Rich Karlgaard, autor de Late Bloomers
Altamirano
by Patricia PolitzerUn libro contundente que revela la vida y obra de Altamirano, uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su tiempo. Uno de los diez hombres más buscados en Chile tras el fatídico golpe militar de 1973 fue Carlos Altamirano Orrego. La «Bestia Negra», como lo llamaban los afines a la dictadura militar, había sido uno de los grandes artífices de la Unidad Popular, tenía una relación íntima con Salvador Allende, era famoso por sus «incendiarios» discursos y en ese tiempo se desempeñaba como secretario general del Partido Socialista. Según los militares, era un peligro para la nación. La destacada periodista Patricia Politzer, en pleno retorno a la democracia, consiguió entrevistarse en París largamente con Carlos Altamirano, para indagar en eso que todos los chilenos se preguntaban: ¿cómo logro escapar de Chile? ¿Cuál era su opinión sobre la lucha armada y el marxismo-leninismo? ¿Cuáles eran los conflictos más íntimos de Salvador Allende? ¿Qué futuro tendría la renovación socialista? A cuarenta años del golpe militar, Altamirano sigue siendo un libro imprescindible para comprender una época y a un personaje esencial para la historia de Chile.
Altamont
by Keith C. Lee Honorable John McenenyLocated on the western edge of the sprawling Van Rensselaer patent, the village of Altamont was originally called Knowersville. It first gained prominence as a stopping-off place for early travelers struggling along trails from the Hudson River to the Schoharie Valley. As time passed, roads improved and commerce grew. Once the railroad arrived in 1863, the trip from Albany took just 45 minutes, and travelers quickly embraced the beauty of the Helderberg escarpment. A commercial center, including hotels, shops, and small manufacturers, grew quickly around the new train station, and well-to-do Albanians seeking respite from city heat bought property for summer mansions on the hillside above the village. The Altamont Fair supported local agriculture and brought in visitors from around the world. Altamont reveals the beginnings of this little village under the Helderbergs.
Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day
by Joel SelvinIn this breathtaking cultural history filled with exclusive, never-before-revealed details, celebrated rock journalist Joel Selvin tells the definitive story of the Rolling Stones’ infamous Altamont concert, the disastrous historic event that marked the end of the idealistic 1960s.In the annals of rock history, the Altamont Speedway Free Festival on December 6, 1969, has long been seen as the distorted twin of Woodstock—the day that shattered the Sixties’ promise of peace and love when a concertgoer was killed by a member of the Hells Angels, the notorious biker club acting as security. While most people know of the events from the film Gimme Shelter, the whole story has remained buried in varied accounts, rumor, and myth—until now.Altamont explores rock’s darkest day, a fiasco that began well before the climactic death of Meredith Hunter and continued beyond that infamous December night. Joel Selvin probes every aspect of the show—from the Stones’ hastily planned tour preceding the concert to the bad acid that swept through the audience to other deaths that also occurred that evening—to capture the full scope of the tragedy and its aftermath. He also provides an in-depth look at the Grateful Dead’s role in the events leading to Altamont, examining the band’s behind-the-scenes presence in both arranging the show and hiring the Hells Angels as security.The product of twenty years of exhaustive research and dozens of interviews with many key players, including medical staff, Hells Angels members, the stage crew, and the musicians who were there, and featuring sixteen pages of color photos, Altamont is the ultimate account of the final event in rock’s formative and most turbulent decade.
Altapass (Images of America)
by Judy Carson Terry MckinneyThe region that is now Altapass was settled in the last third of the 18th century by restless and brave souls of Scot-Irish descent. The most colorful and prolific of these was CharlieMcKinney, a man set upon making a life for himself, his 4 wives, and his 48 children in the Appalachian wilderness. His children intermarried with many families, including the Davenports, Biddixes, Halls, and Wisemans, to establish a community that has survived and thrived in this rugged paradise. Change has often come to the community in sudden bursts, including the arrival of the railroad a century ago, which gave the community its life, name, and most enduring institution, the Orchard at Altapass.
Altar Ego Study Guide: Becoming Who God Says You Are
by Craig Groeschel Christine AndersonMost people are obsessed with the approval of others. The problem is that living for what people think of you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about you. In the six-session Altar Ego small group study, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel teaches that if there is any part of your life that is not pleasing to God, He can change it. If you battle with insecurities, self-doubt, or spiritual inconsistencies, Jesus can make you new. You are not your past. You are not what you did. You are not who others say you are. You are who Christ says you are. You don’t have to get caught up in your self-worth or lack thereof. Your worth is not based on your opinion of yourself. You are valuable because God says you are His. This participant’s guide, designed for use with the Altar Ego DVD study, provides individual and group activities, between-session personal studies, quotes, assessments, and additional background material that will enhance your experience of the DVD teaching. Altar Ego will help you sacrifice any old, unhealthy, untrue, and unbiblical thoughts about yourself and introduce you to your altar-ego—who you are in Christ.

Altared Ground: Levinas, History, Violence
by Brian SchroederOne of the most pressing concerns for contemporary society is the issue of violence and the factors that promote it. In Altared Ground: Levinas, History and Violence Brian Schroeder stages an engagement between Emmanuel Levinas, one of the leading figures in 20th century Continental philosophy, and Plato, Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and others in the history of ideas. Not merely an exposition of Levinas' original and complex thinking, Brian Schroeder seeks to re-read the history of Western philosophy and religion by going beyond Levinas' alternatives to traditional theories of the self in order to suggest a notion of subjectivity that is not grounded in violence.
Altared: A Tale of Renovating a Medieval Church in Tuscany
by Kyle Tackwell BallWhen Kyle Tackwell Ball’s search for a quaint country home near Florence, Italy, in move-in condition somehow led to the purchase of an abandoned church in a small borgo near Greve-in-Chianti called Le Convertoie, she ended up with much more than a project to overcome her newly contracted “empty nest syndrome.”Ball soon found herself starring in a “Stones and Bones Classic”; the ruin she’d purchased would require years of renovation and an endless amount of money before it would become habitable. But her journey had unexpected rewards, too: she reconnected with some wonderful friends, made new ones, learned the language of her newly adopted home country, and became experienced in the Italian knack of getting around the system. Most importantly, she learned to appreciate Italian culture, food and wine, and how rewarding it is to give new life to a beautiful old building. Ball’s renovation was featured in the March 2010 “Before & After” issue of Architectural Digest, beautifully documented by Kim Sargent of Sargent Architectural Photography.
Altared: The True Story of a She, a He, and How They Both Got Too Worked Up About We
by Claire Eli"Altared is a must-read for young Christians hungering for a realistic, biblically rich take on love and marriage in the twenty-first century." --Katelyn Beaty, editor, Christianity Today magazine, Her.meneutics Mar*riage-hap*py \mar´-ij-hap´e¯\ adj 1: Having an inordinate preoccupation with marital pursuits, sometimes at the cost of other Christian priorities, commonly seen in evangelicals. 2: A giddiness stemming from all things related to marriage. In the frenzied pursuit of romance, Christians sometimes lose sight of the greatest commandments: to love God and to love others. Distracted by wedding bells and exuberant hopes for a happily-ever-after, Christians often forget the greater vision of Christ's call to love. What if God is less worked up about marriage than we are? With honesty and insight, Claire and Eli ask us to shift our thinking away from marriage or singleness and toward love and discipleship. Drawing from luminaries like Augustine, the Desert Fathers, and Bonhoeffer, they invite you to join their real-life exploration of love as they convincingly demonstrate why a love for God and for one's neighbor are to be our top priorities, whether we are single or married.
