Rage Against the Political Machine: Understanding Right Wing Populism and Political Polarization, Past and Present

Join us as Jeff Cowie discusses his book, Freedom’s Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power.

American freedom is typically associated with the fight of the oppressed for a better world. But for centuries, whenever the federal government intervened on behalf of nonwhite people, many white Americans fought back in the name of freedom, their freedom to dominate others. 

This will be an enlightening conversation that you don't want to miss.
