Citizenship After Trump: Democracy versus Authoritarianism in a Post-Pandemic Era
Autor Bradley S. Klein, Scott G. Nelsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 apr 2022
With both Trumpism and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic greatly testing American democracy, the authors examine the political, economic and cultural challenges that remain after the Trump Administration’s exceedingly inept leadership response. They explore the promise and limits of democracy relative to long-standing traditions of American political thought. The book argues that all Americans should consider the claims of citizenship amidst the forces consolidating today around narrow conceptions of race, nation, ethnicity and religion—each of which imperils the institutions of democracy and strikes at the heart of the country’s political culture. Chapters on the media, political economy, fascism and social democracy explore what Americans have gotten so wrong politically and considers what kind of vision can, in the years ahead, lead the country out of a truly dangerous impasse.
Citizenship After Trump is an invaluable and timely resource for self-critical analysis and will stimulate focused discussions about as yet unexplored regions of America’s political history.

Recenzii
"This volume is a passionate and eloquent warning about the dangers of Trumpism and the governance failures that killed hundreds of thousands in the COVID pandemic. A must read for anyone who cares about the future of democracy and citizenship."
Simon Dalby, Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University
"Combining impassioned concern for democracy and the public good with careful scholarship and perceptive observation, Klein and Nelson implore us to think about where the United States might be headed in the wake of the mendacity and incompetence of the Trump Administration. In common with the traditions of the public intellectual, they put political theory to use to argue for the restoration of a progressive democratic common sense. With nuance and sensitivity to the indeterminacy of the political and the fragility of democratic political cultures, they combine analysis of the COVID pandemic, the Trump Administration, and the rise of right-wing media, with examination of the longer-term and deeper trends in the American polity that have distorted and impoverished the public world. They worry—as should all who care about democracy—about the future of democracy, but at the same time offer hope for revival of a vibrant democratic public culture. This is an important book that echoes the work of the best American public intellectuals."
Stephen Rosow, Professor of Politics, State University of New York at Oswego
"This is an important deep dive into the meaning of community and citizenship at a time when the far right seeks to incite hate and division."
