Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep trace the parallels between the 192s Klan and today’s right-wing backlash, identifying the conditions that allow white nationalism to emerge from the shadows. Their sociological analysis of the Klan’s outbreaks sheds light on how Trump's rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances.
