Christianity and the Alt-Right

Damon T. Berry is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at St. Lawrence University, USA.

“With this book, Professor Berry has demonstrated, yet again, that he is one of the most important experts on religion and the racist right in America. He is furthermore a gifted writer, capable of providing a dispassionate, readable explanation of some of the most controversial subjects of our time. Berry has a gift for ideological empathy. He is able to fairly and accurately describe arguments that he personally finds distasteful, even loathsome. He presents his subjects as they are, rather than as caricatures, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Scholars, students, and activists will find this tremendous work of scholarship incredibly useful.”George Hawley, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Alabama, USA“This timely and troubling work fills an important hole in our understanding not only of the ‘Alt-Right,’ but also of the relationship between the history of American racism and Christianity more broadly. Berry’s book should be essential reading for any scholar trying to assess what was happening in American Christianity during the Trump era.”Michael J. McVicar, Associate Professor of Religion, Florida State University, USA
