This volume will be required reading both for those simply trying to make sense of this current age of aggressive and polarized politics, and for students of social movements. In its ability to respond to the divisive politics of the era, the resistance will be a movement that garners substantial attention as we move forward-especially as we approach the 2020 presidential election. This book provides helpful insights into its complexity, the challenges it faces, and the important values and goals it espouses.
