White fear : how the browning of America is making white folks lose their minds
Martin, Roland S.2022
Books
In 'White Fear', Martin provides a primer on how white fear has shaped, and continues to shape, our democracy and our culture. He connects the separate puzzle pieces, from the Tea Party Movement and QAnon to the decline of white American optimism to the diminishing blue-collar workforce, to illuminate the larger picture of what will unfold in America over the next decade - and offers a better way forward. If we want to create the kind of country that we're all welcome in and proud to live in, we can no longer ignore white fear. To neutralize it - in our country and, for white readers, ourselves - we must first understand it. Only then can we recognize and dismantle it. And as the last few years have shown, we don't have any time to lose.
