Nancy MacLean

In 1981, MacLean completed a four-year, combined-degree, B.A./M.A program in history at Brown University, graduating magna cum laude. After graduating, she taught as a lecturer in June 1983 for the International Socialist Organization's three-day "Socialist Summer School" program on the topic of "Women Workers in World War II"."Socialist Summer School," The Socialist Worker, June 1983, p. 12 [https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/sw-us/1982-85/SW_74_jun_1983.pdf] In 1989, she received a Ph.D. in history from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she studied under Linda Gordon. MacLean's doctoral thesis later became her first book, Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan (1994).

From 1989 to 2010, MacLean taught at Northwestern University, where she chaired the history department and was the Peter B. Ritzma Professor in the Humanities. She spoke in favor of and participated in the Living Wage Campaign.{{Cite news|last=DeSantis|first=Nick|date=29 March 2013|title= N.C.

Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan, published in 1994, explores how some five million ordinary, white Protestant men joined the second Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. MacLean argued that the Ku Klux Klan was an organization "at once mainstream and extreme" that was hostile to both big government and to unionism; that Klan philosophy was anti-elitist and anti-black, but that their patriarchal stance for family values helped achieve a mass following; and that they demonstrated political affinity with the varieties of European fascism of the 1920s.{{cite journal |last1=Roper |first1=John Herbert |author1-link=John Herbert Roper |title=Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan (review) |journal=Southern Cultures |date=1996 |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=258–260 |doi=10.1353/scu.1996.0010|s2cid=143533969 }}

Behind the Mask of Chivalry received four scholarly awards, and reviewers said it is "a remarkable, readable, and important book",{{Cite journal|last=Aynes|first=Richard|date=Summer 2007|title=Review|journal=The Historian|page=807}} especially for students of the American South, of African American history, and of political violence in the U.S., which is characterized by an "ambitious scope" and "graced by artful, energetic prose."{{Cite book|url=https://global.oup.com/academic/product/behind-the-mask-of-chivalry-9780195098365?cc=us&lang=en&#|title=Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan|year=1995|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0195098365|location=Oxford; New York}} The Organization of American Historians awarded the James A. Rawley Prize to Behind the Mask of Chivalry. William D. Jenkins called MacLean's historical analysis "well-written, yet flawed", because it is "too readily dismissive of the influence of religious and cultural beliefs on human activity."{{cite journal|last1=Jenkins|first1=William D.|date=1995|title=Review of Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan|jstor=3788735|journal=Journal of Social History|volume=29|issue=1|pages=218–220|doi=10.1353/jsh/29.1.218}} In the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, J.

Freedom Is Not Enough: The Opening of the American Workplace, published in 2006 by Harvard University Press and the Russell Sage Foundation, traces the ways in which civil rights activism produced a seismic shift in U.S. workplaces, from an environment in which discrimination and a "culture of exclusion" were the norm to one that accepted and even celebrated diversity and inclusion.

The book received praise as a "superb and provocative" interpretation of civil rights history, and as an example of "contemporary history at its best."{{Cite news|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2006/03/12/an-nu-professor-looks-at-justice-on-the-job/|title=An NU professor looks at justice on the job|work=tribunedigital-chicagotribune|access-date=2017-07-06|language=en}} It won seven awards, including the Taft Award for labor history and the Hurst Award for legal history. Kenneth W.

{{Main|Democracy in Chains}}

In 2017 MacLean published Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America. The book focuses on the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan and his work developing public choice theory, as well as the roles of Charles Koch and others in nurturing the libertarian movement in the United States. MacLean argues that these figures undertook "a stealth bid to reverse-engineer all of America, at both the state and national levels back to the political economy and oligarchic governance of midcentury Virginia, minus the segregation."{{cite book |last1=MacLean |first1=Nancy |title=Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America |date=2017 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-1101980989 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iW4ADAAAQBAJ |language=en}}{{page needed|date=March 2019}} According to MacLean, Buchanan represents "the true origin story of today's well-heeled radical right".{{Cite news |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/life/history/2017/06/james_mcgill_buchanan_s_terrifying_vision_of_society_is_the_intellectual.html |title=What Is the Far Right's Endgame?

Resist them" Vox.com, July 14, 2017 [https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/7/14/15967788/democracy-shackles-james-buchanan-intellectual-history-maclean]David Bernstein (law professor), "Duke Historian Nancy Maclean's Wacky Conspiracy Theory" Reason Magazine, August 6, 2017 [https://reason.com/volokh/2018/08/06/duke-historian-nancy-macleans-wacky-cons/]"Rick Perlstein, author of a trilogy of books on the history of conservatism, echoes their critique. "The foundation of the entire book is a conspiracy theory that suggests that if you understand THIS ONE SECRET PLAN, you understand the rise of the right in America in its entirety." Marc Parry "A New History of the Right Has Become an Intellectual Flashpoint" The Chronicle of Higher Education, July 19, 2017 [https://www.chronicle.com/article/a-new-history-of-the-right-has-become-an-intellectual-flashpoint/?sra=true]
