nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bullying and intimidation are not accidental features of contemporary American life; they have become deliberate tools of power that increasingly define our politics.In Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying, Roddey Reid examines how intimidation and bullying have been normalized across public life-from schools, workplaces, and new media ecosystems to electoral politics and civic institutions. Drawing on political analysis, real-world case studies, and practical strategies, the book shows how these tactics operate, why they are effective, and how citizens, residents, and institutions can respond without becoming consumed by fear or aggression.Reid traces the deep roots of these dynamics across the past two decades-from the post-9/11 era and the War on Terror to the rise of the Tea Party movement, the Obama years, the transformative 2016 election, and up to today--and explores how they have reshaped civic participation, electoral politics, and public discourse. He highlights how hostile rhetoric has been amplified, how political aggression has been normalized, and how far-right mobilization has contributed to the broader erosion of democratic norms.By revealing the strategies behind political coercion, psychological manipulation, and authoritarian identity politics, Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying provides readers with a framework for recognizing and resisting the pressures that undermine democratic culture.Essential reading for citizens, educators, policymakers, and advocates, the book offers an urgent call for renewed civic engagement and a deeper understanding of the forces shaping American democracy today.…

Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying is about how this came to be and enabled the rise of authoritarian rule, and how we can find our way through it.
At the core of this political history is a larger US public culture of intimidation and bullying in the workplace, media, and political arena that has been building for thirty-five years. The current harsh environment is a direct challenge to citizens and residents, especially those seeking to engage in civic activism and public life now and in the years to come.
The book's hope is to provide a kind of clarity that helps us get a handle on events and diminish the terror of the current moment by providing some shared protective mental armor.
It offers a unique guide to the strategies and dynamics of contemporary political intimidation and public bullying: the dangers they present, the snares and traps that envelope their targets, and the lessons to be learned.
In the end, it's about shedding light on the dark side of contemporary national life in order to see beyond it.
For this new edition I have thoroughly revised and updated the original text and added 70% more material in the way of new research and many current examples. The first five chapters lay the groundwork for the lessons offered in Chapters Six and Seven and the Conclusion.
Praise for Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying
"Roddey Reid's latest volume shows that Trump mastered, but did not originate, the hyper-tough entrepreneurial bully and autocratic chief executive we see today. His book offers a refreshingly original and convincing study of public bullying as the link between budget austerity, hyper-wealth, and reactionary populism..... To begin to imagine a different kind of politics, to conceive of a more compassionate and knowledgeable society, and to put these goals in practice before it is too late, we need this book."
-Jody Berland, author of North of Empire: Essays on the Cultural Technologies of Space
"Deeply researched, conceptually sophisticated, and engagingly written, Roddey Reid's excellent book makes an indispensable contribution. If you want to understand Trump's return to power and the forces in the wider culture that made it possible in historical perspective--and if, indeed, you care about the future of the USA--you will find Reid's work of great value. His outlook is always realistic, and often soberly so, but never without hope."
-Carl Freedman, author of The Age of Nixon
"If you have found yourself wondering how the President morphed from the commander-in-chief to the bully-in-chief, not once but twice, this is the book for you. The short answer: it didn't happen all at once. Reid expertly shows how the Trump phenomenon is the culmination of a decades-long history of transformations.... rooted in workplace culture, the neoliberal spirit of capitalism, and the culture of insecurity in the age of limitless war...."
-Brian Massumi, author of Ontopower: War, Powers, and the State of Perception and The Personality of Power
"Donald Trump's second term as President is even worse than his first.... Roddey Reid succeeds in finding words that capture the terrifying and disorienting daily experience of what Trump is actually doing and how we got here. He offers some important protective intellectual armor to readers and proposes a series of suggestions for how to counter the assault upon everything that makes life worth living."
