{"product_id":"trump-studies-tara-brabazon-9781787697829","title":"Trump Studies: An Intellectual Guide to Why Citizens Vote Against Their Interests","description":"Why do citizens vote against their own best interest? \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTrump Studies \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses this key question; probing the value of thinking, reading, writing and interpretation during times of economic, social and political uncertainty. With a compelling voice and academic rigour, the authors explore how and why xenophobia and sexism are the grammar of contemporary popular culture and politics. \u003cbr\u003e The Brexit result and the Trump victory cannot be studied in a laboratory; the silent majority will not sit in a petri dish, waiting to be researched. The theories and methodologies developed into this book not only explain these two mega and meta events, they create space for ideas that challenge and dissent, and make the case for the role and value of universities in a time when evidence, expertise and facts often dissolve into opinion, emotion and fake news. \u003cbr\u003e Donald Trump does not matter. Trump Studies does matter - and this is a siren call to all intellectuals to intervene and transform the currency of theory in empiricist times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tara Brabazon,Steve Redhead,Runyararo S.
