Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age

Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age by Ibram X. Kendi, 2026. You will not replace us! The author describes how "the great replacement" theory has become the dominant political theory of our time and he writes about how we can safeguard our democracy from this racist maga dystopia threat that is trying to make America an authoritarian dictatorship. He tells a fascinating history of this theory where variations of it have existed for centuries from around the world. It was a brutally honest and critical read that was well researched and thought provoking.

I previously read his earlier book Stamped From The Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, 2016.
