A renowned expert on genocide argues that there is a real risk of
violent atrocities happening in the United States If many people
were shocked by Donald Trump's 2016 election, many more were
stunned when, months later, white supremacists took to the streets
of Charlottesville, Virginia, chanting "Blood and Soil" and "Jews
will not replace us!" Like Trump, the Charlottesville marchers were
dismissed as aberrations-crazed extremists who did not represent
the real US. It Can Happen Here demonstrates that, rather than
being exceptional, such white power extremism and the violent
atrocities linked to it are a part of American history. And,
alarmingly, they remain a very real threat to the US today.
Alexander Hinton explains how murky politics, structural racism,
the promotion of American exceptionalism, and a belief that the US
has have achieved a color-blind society have diverted attention
from the deep roots of white supremacist violence in the US's
brutal past. Drawing on his years of research and teaching on mass
violence, Hinton details the warning signs of impending genocide
and atrocity crimes, the tools used by ideologues to fan the flames
of hate, the origins of the far-right extremist ideas of white
genocide and replacement, and the shocking ways in which "us"
versus "them" violence is supported by racist institutions and
policies. It Can Happen Here is an essential new assessment of the
dangers of contemporary white power extremism in the United States.
While revealing the threat of genocide and atrocity crimes that
loom over the country, Hinton offers actions we can take to prevent
it from happening, illuminating a hopeful path forward for a nation
in crisis.
