7h149p31536	Bryan Michael Santin	Imagining the American Right: Postwar Fiction, Race, and the Rise of Modern Conservatism, 1945–2005	1904		.txt	text/plain	355	7	4	This dissertation presents a fundamental reinterpretation of the cultural politics of postwar American fiction, arguing that the robust linkage between liberalism and highbrow literary fiction in the post-sixties United States must be understood in relation to the rise of modern conservatism and its evolving positions on race. But I argue that the conservative movement played an equally significant role in reshaping the dominant political order in ways that also reshaped normative assumptions about novelistic form, literary merit, and the value-laden implications of literary fiction.	cache/7h149p31536.txt	txt/7h149p31536.txt
