Phillips charts the way forward for progressives and people of color after four years of Trump, arguing that Democrats must recognize the nature of the fight we're in, which is a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the Civil War.

La desigualdad permanece. ¿Cómo se conforman las clases dominantes y qué principios las rigen? ¿Cuándo se les imponen límites y cómo se relacionan con el resto de la sociedad?
