Frontlash / Backlash by Jeffrey C. Alexander (Paperback Book)

In the aftermath of the Cold War, many societies seemed firmly set on a pathway to cultural reintegration, progressive reform, and democratic government. This didn’t happen.

Reform movements – such as anti-racism, feminism, and open immigration – should be understood as frontlash movements creating extraordinary tensions. They challenge not only.
