Itâs important to read about how white nationalism festers in order to combat it. But also the book is largely about New College and the afterword is incredibly succinct in addressing how the white nationalist movementâs development since the turn of the century has led to the right-wing takeover of higher ed weâre seeing now.

âThis book rearranged how I looked at the subject matter.
Biggest argument it makes is: let's bring back class solidarity as a force for social change. Hopefully 2020 isn't as close as we come to that in our lifetimes.

What can I say about this that hasnât already been said?
Having grown up on Twitter and seeing first hand the rise of the right wing conspiracy theory movement, to the point the app became miserable and unusable, understanding the specifics of how this happened was fascinating and I couldnât put it down.
The chapters on Israel/Palestine and the history of the âJewish questionâ was really important to read and I havenât been able to stop discussing it with people at every opportunity. Naomiâs account of her time in Palestine, dealing with the IDF is really shocking if ultimately unsurprising.
I really feel like this is one of the most essential reads of the 21st century.

my man olufemi reads the social, intellectual, and economic elite for filth in this treatise on how identity politics (originally conceptualized as a means of bringing marginalized people together to organize and resist authoritarian hegemony) has been co-opted by said authoritarian hegemony to render marginalized people powerless and misdirect conversations we have about resistance to center "marginalized" elites as representatives resulting in a whole lot of talk and pretty much no action (as well as some historical alternatives)
should be required readings for undergrads, twitter posters, "dinner with jay-z" proponents, and pretty much anyone who has ever asked "what the fuck is going on and why"
