Problem: First, based on Bjork-James and Elster's articles, how do both white nationalists and right-wing Christian evangelicals use the frame of "protecting the family" as a central concern that animates political action? What are the ideological differences between the religious right and white nationalists and how does the focus on the family help to bridge those differences?
Second, in Bjork-James and Elster's articles, how are "economic concerns" included in family politics but in a way that obscures the root causes of economic changes and possibilities for economic justice? How does this contemporary vision of "protecting the family" shape political struggle today? What do you think a social justice-oriented version of "the family" would look like that addressed real economic problems while also advancing socially just relations within and beyond the family, between people of different genders, ages, etc.?
