Echoes. 520 Overview: In the 1920s, a revived Ku Klux Klan burst into prominence as a self-styled defender of American values, a magnet for white Protestant community formation, and a would-be force in state and national politics. But the hooded bubble burst at mid-decade, and the social movement that had attracted several million members and additional millions of sympathizers collapsed into insignificance. Since the 1990s, intensive community-based historical studies have reinterpreted the 1920s Klan. Rather than the violent, racist extremists of popular lore and current observation, 1920s Klansmen appear in these works as more mainstream figures. Sharing a restrictive American identity with most native-born white Protestants after World War I, hooded knights pursued fraternal fellowship, community activism, local reforms, and paid close attention to public education, law enforcement (especially Prohibition), and moral/sexual orthodoxy. No recent general history of the 1920s Klan movement reflects these new perspectives on the Klan. One Hundred Percent American incorporates them while also highlighting the racial and religious intolerance, violent outbursts, and political ambition that aroused widespread opposition to the Invisible Empire. Balanced and comprehensive, One Hundred Percent American explains the Klan's appeal, its limitations, and the reasons for its rapid decline in a society confronting the reality of cultural and religious pluralism. 610 20 Ku Klux Klan (1915- ) |=^A80636 650 0 Racism |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A155662 651 0 United States |xSocial conditions |y1918-1932. |=^A68654 648 7 Geschichte 1920-1930. |2swd 856 |uhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=024533090&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA |zInhaltsverzeichnis 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n5123725 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n17467591 938 Brodart |bBROD |n13055186 |c$27.95 949 HS2330.K63 P46 2011 |hJoyner48 |i30372013777948 |ojjlm 910 PromptCat 994 92 |bERE 596 1 998 2685822
