“O’Connor’s argument about worker power is a persuasive one.’’
The Nation
A New York Times Book Review pick of Best Books Now in Paperback
An engaging and reflective look at how austerity and the billionaire class paved the way for Trump’s presidency, the rise of the “alt-right,” and the caging of migrant children and adults in detention centers across the country
For all of the energy that the far right has demonstrated—and for all of the support that they receive from institutional conservatives in the GOP and affiliated organizations—the United States is experiencing an upsurge in left-wing social movements unlike any other in the past half-century, with roots not in the Democratic Party but Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.
Drawing on his original reporting as well as archival research, O’Connor investigates how the capitalist class and the radical right mobilize racism to defend their interests, while focusing on one of the most pressing issues of our time: immigration.

Detailed explorations of dark money and nativist underpinnings, although somewhat short on present-day and the suggestion of actions and solutions that can be taken in the US. Of special interest was the currently adapted fascism during the Trump era to encompass the peoples of color, both black and yellow. The book is well researched and poignantly focuses on the extreme right’s obsession to picture immigrants as evil.
