| Summary: | This book demonstrates the fragility of democratic norms and institutions, and the allure of fascist politics within the Trump era. The chapters consider the antagonistic cultural practices through which divergent political machinations, including white (patriarchal) nationalism, are staged, and examine the corresponding policies and governing practices that threaten the civil rights, security and wellbeing of racialized minorities, immigrants, women and gender nonconforming people. The book contributes to social theory on nation-building by delineating processes of exclusion, intimidation and violence, with a focus on rhetoric, performance, semiotics, music, affectivity and the power of media. Various chapters also analyze creative, restorative and at times unruly practices of community building, which reknit the social fabric with expansive visions of the polity. This anthropology-led volume incorporates contributions from a number of disciplines including sociology, American studies, communication and Spanish, and will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities. |
