Dramatically challenging our preconceptions of the hooded Klansmen responsible for establishing a Jim Crow racial hierarchy in the 1870s South, this “second Klan” spread in states principally above the Mason-Dixon line by courting xenophobic fears surrounding the flood of immigrant “hordes” landing on American shores. “Part cautionary tale, part expose” (\u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e), The Second Coming of the KKK “illuminates the surprising scope of the movement” (\u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e); the Klan attracted four-to-six-million members through secret rituals, manufactured news stories, and mass “Klonvocations” prior to its collapse in 1926—but not before its potent ideology of intolerance became part and parcel of the American tradition. A “must-read” (\u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e) for anyone looking to understand the current moment, \u003cem\u003eThe Second Coming of the KKK\u003c\/em\u003e offers “chilling comparisons to the present day” (\u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e).","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048451064048,"sku":"9781631494925","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631494925_p0.jpg?v=1763672248","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631494925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
