An engaging and reflective look at how austerity and the billionaire class paved the way for Trump’s presidency, the rise of the alt-right, and the caging of migrants children and adults in detention centers across the country.  For all of the energy that the far right has demonstrated-and for all of the support that they receive from institutional conservatives in the GOP and affiliated organizations-the United States is experiencing an upsurge in left-wing social movements unlike any other in the past half-century, with roots not in the Democratic Party but Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.

Drawing on his original reporting as well as archival research, O’Connor investigates how the capitalist class and the radical right mobilize racism to defend their interests, while focusing on one of the most pressing issues of our time: immigration.

A journalistic inquiry into immigration, capitalism, and the far right in the 21st century United States. The book begins with the stories of migrant workers and organizers fighting against Donald Trump’s immigration regime, many of whom have themselves been targeted for deportation, likely as a result of their efforts to build a better world. The book then investigates the recent history and political economy of U.S. nativism, from the dark money-funded think tanks and nonprofits that have provided policy and personnel for the Trump administration to the militant reactionaries doing battle with antifascists in the streets and online. Ultimately, as longstanding American traditions of white supremacy and nationalism respond to the ongoing crises of neoliberal capitalism and climate change, The book argues that a new ideological formation, border fascism, is emerging–one that any internationalist movement for working class liberation will have to reckon with in the struggles to come.
