ElizabethHOST
In the early 1960s, the historian Richard Hofstadter also tried to make sense of the change in American politics through writing.
ElizabethHOST
In 1964, Hofstadter revised a lecture he had given at Oxford into an essay for Harper's Magazine entitled The Paranoid Style in American Politics.
ElizabethHOST
In this essay, Hofstadter took aim at the quote-unquote right-wingers of the era, particularly Barry Goldwater, who he claimed had, quote, demonstrated how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority.
