About this listen

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.

Going Beyond the Most Surface-Level Complaints

Loved this. Elucidating listen on how neoliberalism produced Donald Trump and the neo-fascist right wing of American politics. Not without blame are the woefully complacent and at times sinister Democratic party as well. Excellent performance by the reader as well; absorbing listen.
