Biography

Christine A. Kray is Professor of Anthropology at Rochester Institute of Technology, USA.

Uli Linke is Professor of Anthropology at Rochester Institute of Technology, USA.

"The Trump years have been examined from almost every possible angle, usually focusing on and criticizing the man and his policies of the moment. This book combines ethnographic research (for instance, of Latinx, Jewish, and transgender communities) with historical context to illustrate how Trump is a product of an older and deeper political culture in the United States and how that political culture contains other elements that contrast and compete with the Trumpian narrative. Fascism may be a stream of American political culture, pre-dating Trump, but it is not the only stream, which is cause for hope."

Jack David Eller is Associate Professor (Emeritus) of Anthropology at the Community College of Denver, USA.
