Just six years after the Racial Reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, we are witnessing a full-scale assault on equality in America unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction. Building on the urgency and clarity of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his "spirited and persuasive" (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, Steve Phillips now calls on the nation to go back on the offensive in the fight for racial justice.

Story0
We think of the United States as a nation committed, at least on paper, to ideals of human equality, under God and/or under the law. But as robust as the notion of the "American dream" is a longstanding defense of social hierarchies, including vast gulfs between rich and poor. Drawing on forgotten characters and neglected archives, Kim Phillips-Fein tells the story of the executives, intellectuals, and political leaders who have argued that the words of the Declaration of Independence—that "all men are created equal"—are a myth.

Giulia Blasi parte da una serie di riflessioni personali da attivista in preda a un momento di sconforto per decostruire la narrazione dell'isolamento e mettersi alla ricerca di un'alternativa concreta al senso di impotenza che attraversa il nostro tempo. Il risultato è un libro che non fornisce soluzioni facili per problemi complessi ma prova a disegnare una mappa per orientarsi in un periodo di grande difficoltà collettiva, cercando una via d'uscita dal Tapinocene, l'era dell'infelicità.
