About this talk
His presentation, titled “The Great White Hoax: Racism, Divide and Conquer and the Politics of Trumpism” explores the rise of Donald Trump and the way Trumpism reflects longstanding traditions of white racial resentment in America. By placing current politics in a historical context, this talk allows the audience to understand what is new, and not so new about the rise of Trump.
