031401 Chip Berlet - Mobilising Resentment

The rise of right-wing populism is not an overnight success story. It didn't happen because millions of people suddenly started listening to Rush Limbaugh. And the current widespread influence of right-wing groups is not unique to this period in American history. The roots are deep and the historical trends point the way to where we are today: in a time when rightwing values have a firm grip on many mainstream political and cultural institutions. The strategies used by right-wing leaders to achieve this success are worth studying by any grassroots organiser.

Chip Berlet studies right-wing movements as Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates (www.publiceye.org). He's written about the right wing for many national publications over the past two decades. With co-author Matthew Lyons, he wrote the book Right Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort.
