American Blindspot

American Blindspot: Race, Class, Religion, and the Trump Presidency is a careful exploration of the forces that led to the election of the 45th president of the United States. Gerardo Mart synthesizes the latest scholarship and historical research to examine the roles race, class, and religion have played in politicsboth historically and today. The book goes beyond the initial claims that the American working class was the force behind Trumps election or policies and instead offers a nuanced perspective of how race, religion, and class together have shaped our national views, Trumps election, and his policies.
