Exurbia Now

This insightful work by veteran political journalist David Masciotra explores the rise of exurbia outside Chicago and its role as a hub for radical right extremism and cultural shifts in America. It examines how these areas have become symbolic spaces for patriotic and reactionary values while highlighting the complex presence of small-town liberals advocating for equality and social justice. The book offers a nuanced look at small-town America’s ongoing struggles and its significance in the broader fight for democracy.
