520	3		_aWho are the Radical Right and why do extreme rightest movements keep recurring in mid-twentieth -century America? These are the themes explored in The Radical Right by a group of distinguished American historians, sociologists, and political scientists. They find that the roots of the radical right go back to the fundamentalist attacks on science and the patriotic vigilantism of he 1920s, that its members are persons who do not understand social change and seek to hold fast to certitudes that no longer exist, that the extreme right's basic fear is not Communism, but modernity - which is why it seeks to equate liberalism with Communism, and that the social sources of right-wing support are no longer to be found in the bold economic interest group conflicts which have characterized different periods in American life, but in the idea of status concerns and status politics which shapes political attitudes today. Six of the fourteen essays first appeared in The New American Right in 1955. For this volume each of the six authors has added a new chapter applying his analytical scheme to the politics of the 1960s. In addition there is a study of the John Birch Society by Alan F. Westin and a comparative analysis of the political climates in Britain and the United States by Herbert H. Hyma
