Blood Red Lines: How Nativism Fuels the Right - Paperback

by Brendan O'Connor (Author)

Featuring a New Foreword

"An important contribution to the political debate over immigration." --The New Republic

In Blood Red Lines, journalist Brendan O'Connor investigates the recent history and politics of U.S. nativism, from the dark money-funded think tanks to the militant reactionaries doing battle with antifascists in the streets. As O'Connor argues, a new ideology is emerging, "border fascism," one that any movement for working class liberation will need to reckon with in the struggles to come.
