Rabble-Rousers: Militant Segregationists in the Post-War American South

这个项目评估了三名右翼激进分子的政治生涯，他们反对在美国南部实施种族融合。学者们通常将政治极端分子描述为社会边缘化和精神病患者。该项目挑战了这种病态模式。首先，它通过评估塑造右翼极端分子的形成性影响，为他们的动机提供了更复杂的解释。其次，分析他们的政治哲学，作为确定他们为什么被吸引的手段，广泛的民众支持。只有通过了解民权运动所面临的敌人，才能准确地衡量民权运动的成就。

This project assesses the political careers of three right-wing militants who opposed the implementation of racial integration in the American South. Scholars usually portray political extremist as being both socially marginalised and mentally ill. The project challenges that pathological model. Firstly, it provides a more complicated explanation of the motivations, that drove right-wing extremist by assessing the formative influences that shaped them. Secondly, it analysis their political philosophies, as a means to determine why they are attracted, widespread popular support. The achievements of civil rights movements can only be accurately measured, through an understanding of the enemy that it faced.
