American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

Giulia Blasi parte da una serie di riflessioni personali da attivista in preda a un momento di sconforto per decostruire la narrazione dell'isolamento e mettersi alla ricerca di un'alternativa concreta al senso di impotenza che attraversa il nostro tempo. Il risultato è un libro che non fornisce soluzioni facili per problemi complessi ma prova a disegnare una mappa per orientarsi in un periodo di grande difficoltà collettiva, cercando una via d'uscita dal Tapinocene, l'era dell'infelicità.

Kensington, Philadelphia, is distinguished only by its poverty. It is home to Ryan, Giancarlos, and Emmanuel, three Puerto Rican children who live among the most marginalized families in the United States. This is the story of their coming-of-age, which is beset by violence—the violence of homelessness, hunger, incarceration, stray bullets, sexual and physical assault, the hypermasculine logic of the streets, and the drug trade. In Kensington, eighteenth birthdays are not rites of passage but statistical miracles.
