Fascistic candidates and ideas seem to reap the fruits of social unrest everywhere. With her usual thought-provoking and unyielding insights, Houria Bouteldja shows how the history of the left explains this conundrum and how we can overcome it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Drawing from Black radical and decolonial Marxism, she shows that privileging white constituencies, unions, and left parties laid the foundations for a racial contract that binds workers and the poor to the state. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e However, there may still be a way out of this trap. Uniting “rednecks” (the white working class) and “barbarians” (the racially oppressed) requires a project of popular sovereignty, where national identity is transformed through revolutionary love. Looking to the future, Bouteldja imagines antiracism as a redemptive struggle aimed at rehabilitating marginalized communities and redefining white dignity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHouria Bouteldja \u003c\/b\u003eis a French-Algerian political activist and writer.
