Insurrection offers a profound and incisive analysis of the underlying factors that culminated in the assault on Washington’s Capitol on that fateful day in January 2021.

It explores the crisis of democracy, escalating violence, widening inequality and the prominence of conspiratorial discourse within American politics. By examining long-term issues as well as the tumultuous events of 2020, including the COVID-19 pandemic, policing challenges and the fiercely contested presidential election, this book uncovers the catalysts behind conspiracy theories and the politics of outrage.
