Summary:

This interesting work on culture wars in the academic arena examines post 9/11 increases in radical right wing actions on college campuses and connects these seemingly over the top organizations, events, characters and rhetoric to the wider underlying conservative movement and its historical mission to protect business and corporate entities from democratic regulation and oversight. The volume examines the web of think tanks and institutions that make up the traditional corporatist wing of the conservative movement and their direct ties to street, and campus level activists and right wing media. Scatamburlo-D'Annibale is associated with the University of Windsor, Ontario. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
