Sinopsi

This is one of the first books to thoroughly critique the rise of Trumpism and its potential impact, nationally andaÇÇ globally. One of the worldâÇÖs leading social critics, Giroux offers new critiques of Trump and his early Cabinet choices in the context of longer term trends, including the rise of right-wing populism, the threat of planetary peril, anti-intellectual fervor, the war on youth, a narrowing political discourse, deepening inequality and disposability, authoritarianism,áthe crisis of civic culture, the rise of the mass incarceration state, and more. Giroux dissects the diverse forces that led to TrumpâÇÖs rise and points to pathways for resisting his authoritarian instincts. Offering a new language of hope and possibility, GirouxâÇÖs optimism is rooted especially in the resurgence of progressive politics among youth. Giroux reclaims the centrality of education to politics and boldly articulates a vision in which the radical imagination merges with civic courage as part of a broad-based struggle for a radical democracy. Deep inquiries into fast-changing and pressing issues of our time makes this book âÇÖthe essential GirouxâÇÖ that citizens and students must read, debate, and act upon.
