Biography

After graduating from the University of California at Irvine, Diamond earned a Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley in sociology. Having conducted research since the early 1980s, her Ph.D. dissertation, entitled "Right-Wing Movements in the United States, 1945-1992", served as the basis for her second book, Roads to Dominion. The Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley maintains the Sara Diamond Collection on the U.S. Right. She has taught journalism and sociology at several California universities, and for several years wrote a regular column for Z Magazine.

Diamond then switched careers and attended law school. She currently practices law in California.
