The Politics of Transcendence
Wasserman, Harvey | August 31, 1985 issue

add to cart   close window

There are consistent concerns and a significant constituency. There is a concerted effort under way to transcend some of the old labels and to cultivate alliances with conservatives. The emergence of unusual coalitions in recent years has given the nonsectarian New Age movement a certain transcendent appeal. Ecologists have joined with small-town reactionaries to defeat nuclear power plants. Health food advocates have allied with extreme rightists for unrestricted access to alternative medical care. Conservationism has drawn together groups that disagree strenuously over innumerable other issues but share environmental concerns.
