The Wisconsin uprising of 2011 was a struggle against the forces that would eventually unleash the politics of Donald Trump. In that sense, this period must be studied as a cautionary tale. But it is more than that. The vibrant protests against Governor Scott Walker's neoliberal extremism ushered in a new era of economic and social justice activism that would influence all the movements that will eventually shape a new politics and a new society. Matt Kearney recognizes all of these dynamics and his combination of on-the-ground reporting and deep scholarship makes this an essential book about a moment in history and the whole history of our times. -- John Nichols, The Nation, author, Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed The Politics Of Protest, From Madison To Wall Street
