Trump's slogan \"Make American Great Again,\" white masculinity has become increasingly organized around melancholic attachments to an imagined past when white men were still atop the social hierarchy. How and why are white men increasingly identifying as victims of social, economic, and political change? Casey Ryan Kelly's \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Man\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to answer this question by examining textual and performative examples of white male rhetoric-as found among online misogynist and incel communities, survivalists and \"doomsday preppers,\" gender-motivated mass shooters, gun activists, and political demagogues. Using sources ranging from reality television and Reddit manifestos to gun culture and political rallies, Kelly ultimately argues that death, victimhood, and fatalism have come to underwrite the constitution of contemporary white masculinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasey Ryan Kelly is Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the author of \u003ci\u003eAbstinence Cinema: Virginity and the Rhetoric of Sexual Purity in Contemporary Film, \u003c\/i\u003e and the recipient of numerous awards from the National Communication Association.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51793169121568,"sku":"9780814214329","price":197.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/c60814fe2fba5665d38681036d40090a.webp?v=1780715315","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/apocalypse-man-the-death-drive-and-the-rhetoric-of-white-masculine-victimhood-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
