”Subtle, textured, and urgent . . . This crucial history of right-wing resentments speaks across recent decades of US politics."
—Judith Butler
“The second edition of The Stranger Next Door could not be more relevant to the current backlash of homophobia and transphobia in the United States. This book is brimming with insights on how personal anxieties about the ‘other’ can turn into ugly political campaigns and how concerns about economic and social precarity can fuel, often indirectly, bigotry and exclusion.”
—Alexandra Minna Stern, author of Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate
"By combining the meticulousness of an ethnographer with a writer's commitment to storytelling, Stein has written a book that's surprisingly compelling-or, better, compelling because it's surprising." —David L. Kirp, The Nation
"A fascinating look at the psychology of fear and persuasion."—Monica Drake, The Oregonian
