Abstract
Insufficient scholarly attention has been devoted to alternative or
"oppositional" serials from the political right, even though a number
of scholars have used these materials as primary sources for studies in
several academic disciplines. This overview reviews some of the terms
used to describe these serials, explores the development of distinct
post???WWII right-wing ideologies, and proposes that these serials
usefully can be analyzed through a sociological lens as movement
literature that both reflects and shapes different sectors through
frames and narratives. How oppositional serials can play a role in constructing
rhetorical pipelines and echo chambers to take movement
grievances and push them into mainstream political policy initiatives
is explored. The sectors defined and examined are the secular right,
religious right, and xenophobic right. Examples from each sector are
provided, with selected periodicals highlighted in detail.published or submitted for publicatio
