Condemn and Resist: Sociologists Respond to the First Year of Trump 2.0 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781805928560)

The political turbulence caused by Donald Trump's second term has most of the world on edge. Trump 2.0 promises to treat social science as something that must be attacked, demonized, and discredited, while fear, complacency and accommodation have meant sociologists have a poor track record of holding powers accountable. This book offers an elixir.

Condemn and Resist brings together a series of essays from leading sociologists in response to the first year of Trump 2.0 at a time when expert voices are essential for effective critical analysis of political and social climates. With chapters on inequality and public health, immigration, women's health and abortion rights, climate change, education, LGBTQ+ rights, labor and organizing, and government and democracy, the contributors offer effective, efficient and accessible analyses with suggestions and strategies for action.

Rigorous, readable, and urgent, Condemn and Resist is essential for understanding the long-lasting impacts of Trump 2.0. Looking beyond a single moment, this book points toward the future of democracy, the necessity of rigorous scholarship, and the transformative power of social movements.
