An interview with ISSI's Center for Right-Wing Studies chair Larry Rosenthal about his new book Empire of Resentment: Populism's Toxic Embrace of Nationalism was featured in the Berkeley News. An excerpt from the book, "How Identity Politics Became All About White Men," is available on Medium. "The fierceness of the new identity movements [of Trumpism, the Tea Party and the alt-right] is more about status lost than property lost. It is a loss so profoundly felt that it has generated a fierceness powerful enough to transform politics in the U.S. — and in much of the Western world."
