Nominally Christian churches glorify materialism, a gluttony of the
soul, while others celebrate an ecstatic indulgence in hate, citing
Scripture whilst preparing for civil war. Lonely men gather to rage
against women. There, too, in the undertow, the forty-fifth
president of the United States, a vessel of conspiratorial fears
and fantasies, continues to rise to sainthood, and the
insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, killed on 6 January at the US
Capitol, is beatified as a martyr of white womanhood. Both
political inquiry and meditation, as poetic as it is profound and
disturbing, The Undertow captures a decade of growing division in
the US: roughly 2011–2021. Jeff Sharlet examines currents of
gender, faith and money that brought us to the “Trumpocene,”
and finally, explores a geography of grief and uncertainty in the
midst of plague and rising fascism. Beginning and closing with
freedom songs of the past whose critique of American failures are
nonetheless a vision of American possibility, The Undertow is a
necessary reckoning with the present, precarious condition.
