Summary:
"In 2020, while the COVID-19 pandemic raged, the United States was hit by a ripple of political discontent the likes of which had not been seen since the 1960s. ... The killing of George Floyd galvanized a nation already reeling from COVID and a toxic political cycle. Tens of thousands poured into the streets to protest. Major corporations and large nonprofit groups--institutions that are usually resolutely apolitical--raced to join in. The fervor for racial
justice
intersected with the already simmering demands for change from the #MeToo
movement
and for economic
justice
from Gen Z. The entire country suddenly seemed to be roaring for change in one voice. Then nothing much happened. In [this book], Fredrik deBoer explores why these passionate movements failed and
how
they could succeed in the future"--From publisher.
