Recenzje

John Hibbing set out to understand the motivations not of Trump voters, but of his fire-breathing base. In doing so, he has produced an original, nuanced, fair-minded, and fascinating empirical account of what he labels the 'securitarian personality.' Hibbing argues that securitarians define one side of the most fundamental divide in modern societies. They will be a disruptive force in our politics well after Trump, one that must be understood and reckoned with. This important book makes compelling reading both for social scientists and Trump's strongest supporters and opponents.
