Trumpism is a neo-fascist populism articulated with racism, patriarchy and religious conservatism that is anti-state, pro-plutocracy and a chauvinistic nationalism wanting to make the US great again. What does this mean for America and the world?
Chibber is a Professor of Sociology at New York University. is the author of Locked in Place: State-Building and Late Industrialization in India and in 2013 he published Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital which triggered a wide-ranging debate on social theory and the Global South.
