Reviews

'This is a timely book, to say the least. Beyond the moment, however, Grossberg's vision is thought-provoking, stirring, even exciting as well as frightening because it shows that there are new things to say about the morass of American and other democratic politics today and new ways to understand our situation. It's also a rattling good read' -- Meaghan Morris, University of Sydney 'A profound and insightful analysis of the diverse forces that have led to Trump's election. Everyone should read this book if they want to understand the rise of authoritarianism in the United States' -- Henry Giroux, McMaster University Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest, author of On Critical Pedagogy
