Recenzje

For the past few years scholars and the lay public have struggled with how Donald Trump, backed by an army of white nationalists, secured the Oval Office in the wake of the first black president. In Hard White, Fording and Schram leave nary a stone unturned to explain why such a bigot successfully captured the White House. Outlining a theory of "outgroup hostility," Fording and Schram illustrate how racism became mainstreamed to such an extent that it actually helped win the White House, not lose it. The best among a slew of books that either anticipated Trump, or tried to explain his successful run after the fact, Hard White is a must-read for anyone interested in something beyond a speculative account of where the GOP is likely headed.
