Reading with and against in the times of Trump

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this article, I wonder on how to differently teach in the times of Trump where the old masks of domination (e.g., racism, sexism, homo- phobia) are made more explicit  while  also critically bearing in mind how other larger discourses like neoliberalism shapes our responses to the fascist leanings embodied in Trumpism. I explore how the backdrop of US cultural politics and white supremacy is also shaped by a new form of neoliberal multiculturalism that is meant to further divide collective efforts on the parts of racialized and classed marginalized communities. I close by offering concrete pedagogical strategies so to challenge activ- ist researchers and educators to reconsider how to collectively navigate and resist the impulses inspired by this explicitly bigoted neoliberal times we live in.
