The Second Coming of the KKK: The Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and the American Political Tradition by Linda Gordon

4.0

This is an illuminating read, especially in the era of Trumpism. The author shows exactly how the Klan reinvented itself by incorporating more bigotry in its mission. The most interesting thing is to see how similar the tactics and messages are between the Klan of the 1920s and today’s right wing.
