Are we in the beginning of a new fascist era?
As white supremacy, ultra-nationalism, rabid misogyny, and
anti-immigrant fervor coalesce, a new and uniquely American form of
fascism looms. Could our current moment actually bring about the end of
democracy in the United States? Are Americans willing to surrender their
freedom and dignity, along with their ongoing struggle for equality,
justice, and mutual respect in the face of the rising tide of political
and ideological extremism?
In this provocative collection of essays, Henry Giroux warns of the
consequences of doing too little as Trump and the so-called alt-right
relentlessly attack critics and journalists and target the hard-earned
civil rights of women, people of color, immigrants, the working class,
and low-income Americans. As we face down the frightening reality of
living under a system that serves only the interests of the wealthy few,
Giroux makes a passionate call for ordinary citizens to organize,
educate, and resist by all available means.
