Blood Red Lines: Fighting Fascism and the Far Right (1-12-21)

Join Brendan O'Connor and Jay Caspian Kang for a conversation about fighting fascism in the context of recent far-right violence. ---------------------------------------------------- Even as Donald Trump prepares to leave office, the forces that put him there have not yet dissipated, as the storming of Capitol Hill by a militant coalition of revanchist small business owners, street-fighting neo-fascists, and Qanon cultists made clear earlier this month. Through on-the-ground reporting, archival research, and critical analysis, Brendan O'Connor's Blood Red Lines: How Nativism Fuels the Right unearths the history of this social formation, tracks its transformation during the Trump years, and charts its future. ---------------------------------------------------- Brendan O' Connor is a journalist and writer in New York. He has written for The Baffler, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. His latest article on the recent far right violence in Washington, A Preview of What's to Come, was published at The Nation.
