Opis

Even before the 2016 presidential election took place, opponents of a Trump presidency took to the streets. The protests intensified after Trump took office. Over time, the Resistance was joined by a broad variety of groups and embraced an increasing diversity of tactics. The Resistance details the emergence of a volatile and diverse movement directed against the Trump presidency.

Recenzje

This volume will be required reading both for those simply trying to make sense of this current age of aggressive and polarized politics, and for students of social movements. In its ability to respond to the divisive politics of the era, the resistance will be a movement that garners substantial attention as we move forward-especially as we approach the 2020 presidential election. This book provides helpful insights into its complexity, the challenges it faces, and the important values and goals it espouses.
