On Election Day in 2016, it seemed unthinkable to many Americans
that Donald Trump could become president of the United States. But
the victories of the Obama administration hid from view fundamental
problems deeply rooted in American social institutions and history.
The election's consequences drastically changed how Americans
experience their country, especially for those threatened by the
public outburst of bigotry and repression. Amid the deluge of
tweets and breaking news stories that turn each day into a
political soap opera, it can be difficult to take a step back and
see the big picture. To confront the threats we face, we must
recognize that the Trump presidency is a symptom, not the malady.
Antidemocracy in America is a collective effort to understand how
we got to this point and what can be done about it. Assembled by
the sociologist Eric Klinenberg as well as the editors of the
online magazine Public Books, Caitlin Zaloom and Sharon Marcus, it
offers essays from many of the nation's leading scholars, experts
on topics including race, religion, gender, civil liberties,
protest, inequality, immigration, climate change, national
security, and the role of the media. Antidemocracy in America
places our present in international and historical context,
considering the worldwide turn toward authoritarianism and its
varied precursors. Each essay seeks to inform our understanding of
the fragility of American democracy and suggests how to protect it
from the buried contradictions that Trump's victory brought into
public view.
