The presence of various organized right-wing groups on campus in both the US and Canada is becoming more evident daily. Recruiting campaigns, corporatization, religious counter-demonstrations and R & D parks are manifestations of only the most obvious types of right-wing organizing in academe. Less obvious are the off- campus control of student newspapers, funding tagged for historical revisionist or biological determinist research, and contracts for lethal chemical development. For this ground-breaking anthology we invite essays, historical narratives and life stories which uncover, describe and analyze connections between differing types of right-wing groups and the campus. Topics could include but are not limited to:
Strategies of the Christian Right
Neo-conservative Agendas
Organized Surveillance
Backlash and Threats of Violence
Media Connections
Reactionary Rhetoric
The New World Order
Cults, Frats or Secret Societies
Right-wing Ideologies
Hate Group Activities
Think Tanks and Foundations
Coercion in the Classroom
Histories of Right-wing Groups
Strategies for Resistance
