It argues that conservative activists engage in frequent and sincere mobilizations of rights talk--a discourse that includes accusations that socially marginal Americans are seeking un-American, \"special\" rights that violate the nation's commitment to equal rights. \u003ci\u003eThe Cultivation of Resentment\u003c\/i\u003e finds that such rights talk is central both to the identities of conservative activists and to the broad appeal of modern New Right politics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, through an in-depth case study of opposition on the Indian treaty rights, this book establishes that the impact of conservative rights talk is ultimately ambiguous. While conservative rights discourse effectively expresses the nationalistic resentment that saturates New Right politics, it deflects critical scrutiny from the actual causes of that resentment. By tracing the interplay of rights and resentment, \u003ci\u003eThe Cultivation of Resentment\u003c\/i\u003e adds new insight to the prevailing scholarship on law and politics, which typically overlooks the importance of rights discourse for conservative politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeffrey R.
