Bücher von Philip Jenkins

Extreme right-wing groups have always been a part of the American religious and political landscape. The era between the world wars was a particularly volatile period. Philip Jenkins uses developments in Pennsylvania as a case study of the local activities and broader significance of organisations such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Italian Black Shirts, the Silver Legion, and the German-American Bund.

This text examines the political and social impact of the Cold War across the state of Pennsylvania, tracing the Red Scare's reverberations in party politics, the labour movement, ethnic organizations, schools and universities, and religious organizations.

This study provides an extensive survey of the economic activities of the gentry, their role as entrepreneurs and as popularisers of the metropolitan culture of Georgian London. It describes how during the eighteenth century, local elites from remote corners of Britain were amalgamated into one new ruling class.
