Insurrection offers a profound and incisive analysis of the underlying factors that culminated in the assault on Washington’s Capitol on that fateful day in January 2021. Going far beyond journalistic accounts, the book delves into structural trends within the United States, providing a broader and deeper context for comprehending the magnitude of the uprising. It explores the crisis of democracy, escalating violence, widening inequality and the prominence of conspiratorial discourse within American politics. By examining long-term issues as well as the tumultuous events of 2020, including the COVID-19 pandemic, policing challenges and the fiercely contested presidential election, this book uncovers the catalysts behind conspiracy theories and the politics of outrage. This compelling narrative is essential reading for all those interested in the contemporary face of the USA.
John Rennie Short is Emeritus Professor at the School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, Baltimore County. His many books include The Urban Now: Living in an Age of Urban Globalism (2023).
